呼求 神保护

大卫的诗,交给诗班长,用管乐伴奏。

耶和华啊!求你留心听我的话,

顾念我的叹息。

我的王,我的 神啊!

求你倾听我呼求的声音,

因为我向你祷告。

耶和华啊!求你在清晨听我的声音;

我要一早向你陈明,

并且迫切等候。

因为你是不喜爱邪恶的 神,

恶人不能与你同住。

狂傲的人不能在你眼前站立,

你恨恶所有作恶的人。

你必灭绝说谎话的;

好流人血和弄诡诈的,

都是耶和华所憎恶的。

至于我,我必凭着你丰盛的慈爱,

进入你的殿;

我要存着敬畏你的心,

向你的圣所敬拜。

耶和华啊!求你因我仇敌的缘故,

按着你的公义引导我,

在我面前铺平你的道路。

因为他们的口里没有真话,

他们的内心充满毁灭人的意图,

他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓,

他们用舌头弄诡诈。

10  神啊!求你定他们的罪;

愿他们因自己的诡计跌倒,

愿你因他们许多的过犯,把他们赶出去,

因为他们背叛了你。

11 愿所有投靠你的人都喜乐,

常常欢呼;

愿你保护他们,

又愿爱你名的人,因你欢乐。

12 耶和华啊!因为你必赐福给义人,

你要以恩惠像盾牌四面护卫他。

Psalm 5[a]

Prayer for Divine Help

For the leader; with wind instruments. A psalm of David.

I

Give ear to my words, O Lord;
    understand my sighing.(A)
Attend to the sound of my cry,
    my king and my God!
For to you I will pray, Lord;
    in the morning you will hear my voice;
    in the morning I will plead before you and wait.(B)

II

You are not a god who delights in evil;
    no wicked person finds refuge with you;
    the arrogant cannot stand before your eyes.
You hate all who do evil;
    you destroy those who speak falsely.(C)
A bloody and fraudulent man
    the Lord abhors.

III

But I, through the abundance of your mercy,[b]
    will enter into your house.
I will bow down toward your holy sanctuary
    out of fear of you.(D)
Lord, guide me in your justice because of my foes;
    make straight your way before me.(E)

IV

10 For there is no sincerity in their mouth;
    their heart is corrupt.
Their throat[c] is an open grave;(F)
    on their tongue are subtle lies.
11 Declare them guilty, God;
    make them fall by their own devices.(G)
Drive them out for their many sins;
    for they have rebelled against you.

V

12 Then all who trust in you will be glad
    and forever shout for joy.(H)
You will protect them and those will rejoice in you
    who love your name.
13 For you, Lord, bless the just one;
    you surround him with favor like a shield.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 5 A lament contrasting the security of the house of God (Ps 5:8–9, 12–13) with the danger of the company of evildoers (Ps 5:5–7, 10–11). The psalmist therefore prays that God will hear (Ps 5:2–4) and grant the protection and joy of the Temple.
  2. 5:8 Mercy: used to translate the Hebrew word, hesed. This term speaks to a relationship between persons. It is manifested in concrete actions to persons with some need or desire. The one who offers hesed has the ability to respond to that need of the other person. Other possible ways to translate hesed include “steadfast love” and “loving kindness.”
  3. 5:10 Their throat: their speech brings harm to their hearers (cf. Jer 5:16). The verse mentions four parts of the body, each a source of evil to the innocent.
