Psalms 25
1 A psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my heart: all the day I wait for you.
【靠上主的祈禱】上主，我向你把我的心舉起，
2 In you I trust, put me not to shame; let not my foes exult over me.
我的天主，我全心要倚靠你。求你不要使我蒙受羞恥，不要容許我的仇人歡喜。
3 None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors.
凡期望你的人絕不會蒙羞，唯冒昧失信人才會受辱。
4 Make me, O Lord, to know your ways: teach me your paths.
上主，求你使我認識你的法度，並求你教訓我履行你的道路。
5 In your faithfulness guide me and teach me, for you are my God and my saviour.
還求你教訓我；引我進入真理之路，我終日仰望你，因你是救我的天主。
6 Remember your pity, O Lord, and your kindness, for they have been ever of old.
上主，求你憶及的仁慈和恩愛，因為它們由亙古以來就常存在。
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth; remember me in kindness, because of your goodness, Lord.
我青春的罪愆和過犯，求你要追念；上主，求你紀念我，照你的仁慈和良善。
8 Good is the Lord and upright, so he teaches sinners the way.
因為上主仁慈又正直，常領迷途者歸回正路，
9 The humble he guides in the right, he teaches the humble his way.
引導謙卑者遵守正義，教善良者走入正途。
10 All his ways are loving and loyal to those who observe his charges and covenant.
對待持守上主的盟約和誡命的人，上主的一切行徑常是慈愛和忠誠。
11 Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins.
上主，為了你聖名的緣故，求你赦免我重大的愆尤。
12 Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose.
不論是誰，只要他敬愛上主，上主必指示他應選的道路，
13 They will live in prosperity, their children will inherit the land.
他的心靈必要安享幸福，他的後裔必能承繼領土。
14 The Lord gives guidance to those who fear him, and with his covenant he makes them acquainted.
上主親近敬愛自己的人民，也使他們認識自己的誓盟。
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for out of the net he brings my foot.
我的眼睛不斷地向上主瞻仰，因為祂使我的雙腳脫離羅網。
16 Turn to me with your favour, for I am lonely and crushed
求你回顧，求你憐憫，因為我是孤苦伶仃。
17 In my heart are strain and storm; bring me out of my distresses.
求你減輕我心的苦難，救我脫離我的憂患；
18 Look on my misery and trouble, and pardon all my sins,
垂視我的勞苦和可憐，赦免我犯的一切罪愆。
19 look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me.
請看我的仇敵如何眾多，他們都兇狠地痛恨著我。
20 Deliver me, keep me, and shame not one who takes refuge in you.
求你保謢我的生命，向我施救，別叫我因投奔你而蒙受羞辱。
21 May integrity and innocence preserve me, for I wait for you, O Lord.
願清白和正直護衛我！上主，因我唯有仰望你。
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distresses.
天主，求你拯救以色列，使他脫離一切的禍災
