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.
第5篇
求上帝保護
大衛的詩,交給樂長,用管樂器。
1耶和華啊,求你垂聽我的禱告,
顧念我的哀歎。
2我的王,我的上帝啊!
求你傾聽我的呼求,
因為我向你祈禱。
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你不是一位喜歡邪惡的上帝,
惡人不能與你同住。
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但我要憑你豐盛的慈愛進入你的居所,
我要懷著敬畏向你的聖殿下拜。
8耶和華啊,因為仇敵環伺,
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願投靠你的人快樂,歡歌不斷。
求你庇護他們,
讓愛你名的人因你而喜樂。
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。
