诗篇五 (Psalm 5)
(大卫的诗,交与伶长。用吹的乐器。)
耶和华阿,求袮留心听我的言语,顾念我的心思。 (Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing.)
我的王我的神阿,求袮垂听我呼求的声音。因为我向袮祈祷。 (Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.)
耶和华阿,早晨袮必听我的声音。早晨我必向袮陈明我的心意,并要儆醒。 (In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests
before you and wait in expectation.)
因为袮不是喜悦恶事的神。恶人不能与袮同居。 (You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.)
狂傲人不能站在袮眼前。凡作孽的,都是袮所恨恶的。 (The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.)
说谎言的,袮必灭绝。好流人血弄诡诈的,都为耶和华所憎恶。 (You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors.)
至于我,我必凭袮丰盛的慈爱进入袮的居所。我必存敬畏袮的心向袮的圣殿下拜。 (But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple. )
耶和华阿,求袮因我的仇敌,凭袮的公义,引领我。使袮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.)
因为他们的口中没有诚实。他们的心里满有邪恶。 他们的喉咙,是敞开的坟墓。他们用舌头谄媚人。 (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.)
神阿,求袮定他们的罪。愿他们因自己的计谋跌倒。 愿袮在他们许多的过犯中,把他们逐出。因为他们背叛了袮。 (Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.)
凡投靠袮的,愿他们喜乐,时常欢呼,因为袮护庇他们。又愿那爱袮名的人,都靠袮欢欣。 (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.)
因为袮必赐福与义人。耶和华阿,袮必用恩惠如同盾牌四面护卫他。 (For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.)
