呼求 神保護

大衛的詩,交給詩班長,用管樂伴奏。

耶和華啊!求你留心聽我的話,

顧念我的歎息。

我的王,我的 神啊!

求你傾聽我呼求的聲音,

因為我向你禱告。

耶和華啊!求你在清晨聽我的聲音;

我要一早向你陳明,

並且迫切等候。

因為你是不喜愛邪惡的 神,

惡人不能與你同住。

狂傲的人不能在你眼前站立,

你恨惡所有作惡的人。

你必滅絕說謊話的;

好流人血和弄詭詐的,

都是耶和華所憎惡的。

至於我,我必憑著你豐盛的慈愛,

進入你的殿;

我要存著敬畏你的心,

向你的聖所敬拜。

耶和華啊!求你因我仇敵的緣故,

按著你的公義引導我,

在我面前鋪平你的道路。

因為他們的口裡沒有真話,

他們的內心充滿毀滅人的意圖,

他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓,

他們用舌頭弄詭詐。

10  神啊!求你定他們的罪;

願他們因自己的詭計跌倒,

願你因他們許多的過犯,把他們趕出去,

因為他們背叛了你。

11 願所有投靠你的人都喜樂,

常常歡呼;

願你保護他們,

又願愛你名的人,因你歡樂。

12 耶和華啊!因為你必賜福給義人,

你要以恩惠像盾牌四面護衛他。

The Refuge of the Righteous

For the choir director: with the flutes. A psalm of David.

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.

In the morning,(D) Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning 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 sight;(G)
you hate all evildoers.(H)
You destroy those who tell lies;(I)
the Lord abhors violent and treacherous people.(J)

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

For there is nothing reliable in what they say;(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 for ever.
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 favour like a shield.(W)

Psalm 5[a]

For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.

Listen(A) to my words, Lord,
    consider my lament.(B)
Hear my cry for help,(C)
    my King and my God,(D)
    for to you I pray.

In the morning,(E) Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly.(F)
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people(G) are not welcome.
The arrogant(H) cannot stand(I)
    in your presence.
You hate(J) all who do wrong;
    you destroy those who tell lies.(K)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
    you, Lord, detest.
But I, by your great love,
    can come into your house;
in reverence(L) I bow down(M)
    toward your holy temple.(N)

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness(O)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight(P) before me.
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;(Q)
    with their tongues they tell lies.(R)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,(S)
    for they have rebelled(T) against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.(U)
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name(V) may rejoice in you.(W)

12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;(X)
    you surround them(Y) with your favor as with a shield.(Z)
