Psalms 5

1 To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my (meditation)

大衛的詩，交與伶長。用吹的樂器。 耶和華啊，求你留心聽我的言語， 顧念我的心思！

2 Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

我的王我的上帝啊，求你垂聽我呼求的聲音！ 因為我向你祈禱。

3 Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

耶和華啊，早晨你必聽我的聲音； 早晨我必向你陳明我的心意，並要警醒！

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.

因為你不是喜悅惡事的上帝， 惡人不能與你同居。

5 Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

狂傲人不能站在你眼前； 凡作孽的，都是你所恨惡的。

6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

說謊言的，你必滅絕； 好流人血弄詭詐的，都為耶和華所憎惡。

7 But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

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。

8 Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.

耶和華啊，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。

9 For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

因為，他們的口中沒有誠實； 他們的心裏滿有邪惡； 他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓； 他們用舌頭諂媚人。

10 Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.

上帝啊，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。

11 And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.

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。

12 For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield.

因為你必賜福與義人； 耶和華啊，你必用恩惠如同盾牌四面護衛他。
