求上帝保護

大衛的詩,交給樂長,管樂器伴奏。

耶和華啊,求你聽我的禱告,
顧念我的哀歎。
我的王,我的上帝啊!
求你垂聽我的呼求,
因為我只向你祈禱。
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。
你是厭惡邪惡的上帝,
惡人在你面前無立足之地。
狂妄之人不能站在你面前,
你憎惡一切作惡之人。
說謊的,你毀滅;
兇殘詭詐的,你痛恨。
因為你有無限的慈愛,
我要進入你的居所,
我要滿懷敬畏地向你的聖殿下拜。
耶和華啊,我的仇敵眾多,
求你以公義引領我,
使我走你安排的正路。
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 願投靠你的人歡歌不斷。
求你庇護他們,
讓愛你的人因你而喜樂。
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。

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。

(0) For the leader. On wind instruments. A psalm of David:

(1) Give ear to my words, Adonai,
consider my inmost thoughts.
(2) Listen to my cry for help,
my king and my God, for I pray to you.
(3) Adonai, in the morning you will hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my needs before you
and wait expectantly.

(4) For you are not a God
who takes pleasure in wickedness;
evil cannot remain with you.
(5) Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes,
you hate all who do evil,
(6) you destroy those who tell lies,
Adonai detests men of blood and deceivers.

(7) But I can enter your house
because of your great grace and love;
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in reverence for you.
(8) Lead me, Adonai, in your righteousness
because of those lying in wait for me;
make your way straight before me.
10 (9) For in their mouths there is nothing sincere,
within them are calamities,
their throats are open tombs,
they flatter with their tongues.
11 (10) God, declare them guilty!
Let them fall through their own intrigues,
For their many crimes, throw them down;
since they have rebelled against you.

12 (11) But let all who take refuge in you rejoice,
let them forever shout for joy!
Shelter them; and they will be glad,
those who love your name.
13 (12) For you, Adonai, bless the righteous;
you surround them with favor like a shield.

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)
