Psalms 36

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. An evil man speaks of his transgression from deep in his heart, there is no fear of God in his eyes.

上主的僕人達味作，交與樂官。 惡人從心裏就喜愛不義，他毫無敬愛天主的誠意。

2 For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.

他只是在自己的心裏自慰：無人發現他的罪，無人懲治。

3 His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.

他滿口盡是虛偽與詐欺，早已把智慧與善行拋棄。

4 While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.

他在床上籌畫作惡，立於邪道，不怕罪過。

5 Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.

上主，你的慈愛高達青天，你的忠義上徹雲間。

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.

你的正義有如摩天的高山，你的公平有如無底的深淵；上主使人畜生命安全。

7 How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.

天主，你的慈愛多麼可貴可珍，人子們都向你的護翼下投奔。

8 They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.

他們不但飽嘗你宮殿中的盛筵，你還賜他們暢飲你人怡人的溪川。

9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will see light.

因為在你那裏有生命的泉源，藉的光明才能把光明看見。

10 Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.

求你為恭你的人保留恩寵，並為心地正直的人保持公平。

11 Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

求你不要高傲人的腳踐踏我，求你不要讓罪惡人的手騷擾我。

12 Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.

請看! 作惡的人己經一敗塗地，他們既已傾倒，無法重新興起。
