Psalms 5

To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.*5.5 in…: Heb. before thine eyes

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.*5.6 bloody…: Heb. man of bloods and deceit

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.*5.7 thy holy…: Heb. the temple of thy holiness

8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.*5.8 mine…: Heb. those which observe me

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.*5.9 faithfulness: or, stedfastness*5.9 their mouth: Heb. his mouth, that is, the mouth of any of them*5.9 very…: Heb. wickednesses

10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.*5.10 Destroy…: or, Make them guilty*5.10 by…: or, from their counsels

11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.*5.11 defendest…: Heb. coverest over, or, protectest them

12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.*5.12 compass: Heb. crown

呼求 神保护

大卫的诗，交给诗班长，用管乐伴奏。 1 耶和华啊！求你留心听我的话，

顾念我的叹息。

2 我的王，我的　神啊！

求你倾听我呼求的声音，

因为我向你祷告。

3 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。

4 因为你是不喜爱邪恶的　神，

恶人不能与你同住。

5 狂傲的人不能在你眼前站立，

你恨恶所有作恶的人。

6 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。

7 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。

8 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。

9 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。
