詩篇

第 5 章

1. 〔大衛的詩、交與伶長、用吹的樂器。〕耶和華阿、求你留心聽我的言語、顧念我的心思。
For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing.
2. 我的王我的　神阿、求你垂聽我呼求的聲音．因為我向你祈禱。
Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3. 耶和華阿、早晨你必聽我的聲音．早晨我必向你陳明我的心意、並要儆醒。
In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
4. 因為你不是喜悅惡事的　神．惡人不能與你同居。
You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.
5. 狂傲人不能站在你眼前．凡作孽的、都是你所恨惡的。
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.
6. 說謊言的、你必滅絕．好流人血弄詭詐的、都為耶和華所憎惡。
You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors.
7. 至於我、我必憑你豐盛的慈愛進入你的居所．我必存敬畏你的心向你的聖殿下拜。
But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.
8. 耶和華阿、求你因我的仇敵、憑你的公義、引領我．使你的道路在我面前正直。
Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies--make straight your way before me.
9. 因為他們的口中沒有誠實．他們的心裡滿有邪惡．他們的喉嚨、是敞開的墳墓．他們用舌頭諂媚人。
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.
10. 　神阿、求你定他們的罪。願他們因自己的計謀跌倒．願你在他們許多的過犯中、把他們逐出．因為他們背叛了你。
Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11. 凡投靠你的、願他們喜樂、時常歡呼、因為你護庇他們．又願那愛你名的人、都靠你歡欣。
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12. 因為你必賜福與義人．耶和華阿、你必用恩惠如同盾牌四面護衛他。
For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
