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。

求上帝保护

大卫的诗,交给乐长,管乐器伴奏。

耶和华啊,求你听我的祷告,
顾念我的哀叹。
我的王,我的上帝啊!
求你垂听我的呼求,
因为我只向你祈祷。
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。
你是厌恶邪恶的上帝,
恶人在你面前无立足之地。
狂妄之人不能站在你面前,
你憎恶一切作恶之人。
说谎的,你毁灭;
凶残诡诈的,你痛恨。
因为你有无限的慈爱,
我要进入你的居所,
我要满怀敬畏地向你的圣殿下拜。
耶和华啊,我的仇敌众多,
求你以公义引领我,
使我走你安排的正路。
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 愿投靠你的人欢歌不断。
求你庇护他们,
让爱你的人因你而喜乐。
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。

To the director: With flutes.[a] A song of David.

Lord, listen to me
    and understand what I am trying to say.
My God and King,
    listen to my prayer.
Every morning, Lord, I lay my gifts before you
    and look to you for help.
And every morning you hear my prayers.

God, you don’t want evil people near you.
    They cannot stay in your presence.[b]
Fools[c] cannot come near you.
    You hate those who do evil.
You destroy those who tell lies.
    Lord, you hate those who make secret plans to hurt others.

But by your great mercy, I can enter your house.
    I can worship in your holy Temple with fear and respect for you.
Lord, show me your right way of living,
    and make it easy for me to follow.
People are looking for my weaknesses,
    so show me how you want me to live.
My enemies never tell the truth.
    They only want to destroy people.
Their words come from mouths that are like open graves.
    They use their lying tongues to deceive others.[d]
10 Punish them, God!
    Let them be caught in their own traps.
They have turned against you,
    so punish them for their many crimes.
11 But let those who trust in you be happy forever.
    Protect and strengthen those who love your name.
12 Lord, when you bless good people,
    you surround them with your love, like a large shield that protects them.
