第 5 篇
求上帝保護
大衛的詩，交給樂長，管樂器伴奏。
1耶和華啊，求你聽我的禱告，
顧念我的哀歎。
2我的王，我的上帝啊！
求你垂聽我的呼求，
因為我只向你祈禱。
3耶和華啊！早晨你聽我的禱告。
早晨我到你面前祈求，
切切等候。
4你是厭惡邪惡的上帝，
惡人在你面前無立足之地。
5狂妄之人不能站在你面前，
你憎惡一切作惡之人。
6說謊的，你毀滅；
兇殘詭詐的，你痛恨。
7因為你有無限的慈愛，
我要進入你的居所，
我要滿懷敬畏地向你的聖殿下拜。
8耶和華啊，我的仇敵眾多，
求你以公義引領我，
使我走你安排的正路。
9他們口中毫無實話，
心裡充滿惡毒，
喉嚨是敞開的墳墓，
舌頭上盡是詭詐。
10上帝啊，
求你定他們的罪，
讓他們作繭自縛。
他們背叛你，罪惡深重，
求你把他們趕走。
11願投靠你的人歡歌不斷。
求你庇護他們，
讓愛你的人因你而喜樂。
12耶和華啊，你必賜福給義人，
你的恩惠像盾牌四面保護他們。

1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

10Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.5.10 Destroy…: or, Make them guilty5.10 by…: or, from their counsels
