第5篇
求上帝保护
大卫的诗，交给乐长，用管乐器。
1耶和华啊，求你垂听我的祷告，
顾念我的哀叹。
2我的王，我的上帝啊！
求你倾听我的呼求，
因为我向你祈祷。
3耶和华啊！早晨你听我的祷告。
早晨我到你面前祈求，
切切等候。
4你不是一位喜欢邪恶的上帝，
恶人不能与你同住。
5狂妄之人不能站在你面前，
你憎恶一切作恶之人。
6说谎的，你毁灭；
凶残诡诈的，你痛恨。
7但我要凭你丰盛的慈爱进入你的居所，
我要怀着敬畏向你的圣殿下拜。
8耶和华啊，因为仇敌环伺，
求你以公义引领我，
使我走你安排的正路。
9他们口中毫无实话，
心里充满恶毒，
喉咙是敞开的坟墓，
舌头上尽是诡诈。
10上帝啊，
求你定他们的罪，
让他们作茧自缚。
他们背叛你，罪恶深重，
求你把他们赶走。
11愿投靠你的人快乐，欢歌不断。
求你庇护他们，
让爱你名的人因你而喜乐。
12耶和华啊，你必赐福给义人，
你的恩惠像盾牌四面保护他们。
Psalm 5In Hebrew texts 5:1-12 is numbered 5:2-13.
For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.
1Listen to my words, Lord,
consider my lament.
2Hear my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
3In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.
4For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
with you, evil people are not welcome.
5The arrogant cannot stand
in your presence.
You hate all who do wrong;
6you destroy those who tell lies.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
you, Lord, detest.
7But I, by your great love,
can come into your house;
in reverence I bow down
toward your holy temple.
8Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies—
make your way straight before me.
9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;
with their tongues they tell lies.
10Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
for they have rebelled against you.
11But 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.
12Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
