(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)

  1. Psalm 5:1 In Hebrew texts 5:1-12 is numbered 5:2-13.

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。
