Psalms 36

1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before 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 flattereth himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity shall not be found out 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 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise [and] to do good.

他滿口盡是虛偽與詐欺，早已把智慧與善行拋棄。

4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

他在床上籌畫作惡，立於邪道，不怕罪過。

5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the skies.

上主，你的慈愛高達青天，你的忠義上徹雲間。

6 Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

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 thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy 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 shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

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 thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we 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 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in 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 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not 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 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

請看! 作惡的人己經一敗塗地，他們既已傾倒，無法重新興起。
