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

The Refuge of the Righteous

For the choir director: with the flutes. A Davidic psalm.

Listen to my words, Lord;
consider my sighing.(A)
Pay attention to the sound of my cry,(B)
my King and my God,(C)
for I pray to You.

At daybreak,(D) Lord, You hear my voice;
at daybreak I plead my case to You(E) and watch expectantly.

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil cannot dwell with You.(F)
The boastful cannot stand in Your presence;(G)
You hate all evildoers.(H)
You destroy those who tell lies;(I)
the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery.(J)

But I enter Your house
by the abundance of Your faithful love;(K)
I bow down toward Your holy temple
in reverential awe of You.(L)
Lord, lead me in Your righteousness(M)
because of my adversaries;[a]
make Your way straight before me.(N)

For there is nothing reliable in what they say;[b](O)
destruction is within them;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongues.(P)
10 Punish them, God;
let them fall by their own schemes.(Q)
Drive them out(R) because of their many crimes,
for they rebel against You.(S)

11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;(T)
let them shout for joy forever.
May You shelter them,(U)
and may those who love Your name boast about You.(V)
12 For You, Lord, bless the righteous one;
You surround him with favor like a shield.(W)

A Prayer for Help

Listen, Lord, as I pray!
    Pay attention when I groan.[a]
You are my King and my God.
Answer my cry for help
    because I pray to you.
Each morning you listen
    to my prayer,
as I bring my requests[b] to you
    and wait for your reply.

You are not the kind of God
who is pleased with evil.
    Sinners can't stay with you.
No one who boasts can stand
in your presence, Lord,
    and you hate evil people.
You destroy every liar,
and you despise violence
    and deceit.

Because of your great mercy,
    I come to your house, Lord,
and I am filled with wonder
as I bow down to worship
    at your holy temple.
You do what is right,
    and I ask you to guide me.
Make your teaching clear
    because of my enemies.

(A) Nothing they say is true!
    They just want to destroy.
Their words are deceitful
    like a hidden pit,
and their tongues are good
    only for telling lies.
10 Punish them, God,
and let their own plans
    bring their downfall.
Get rid of them!
They keep committing crimes
    and turning against you.

11 Let all who run to you
for protection
    always sing joyful songs.
Provide shelter for those
who truly love you
    and let them rejoice.
12 Our Lord, you bless those
    who live right,
and you shield them
    with your kindness.
