大衛的詩。交給聖詠團長,用吹奏的樂器。求主保護
耶和華啊,求你側耳聽我的言語,
顧念我的心思! Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2我的王,我的神啊,求你留心听我呼求的声音! 因为我向你祈祷。Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3耶和华啊,早晨你必听我的声音; 早晨我要向你陈明我的心思,并要警醒。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因为你不是喜爱邪恶的神, 恶人不能与你同住。For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5狂傲的人不能站在你眼前; 凡作恶的,都是你所恨恶的。The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6说谎言的,你必灭绝; 好流人血、玩弄诡诈的,都为耶和华所憎恶。Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7至于我,我必凭你丰盛的慈爱进入你的居所, 我要存敬畏你的心向你的圣殿下拜。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.
8耶和华啊,求你因我仇敌的缘故,凭你的公义引领我, 使你的道路在我面前正直。Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9因为他们口中没有诚实, 心里充满邪恶, 他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓; 他们用舌头谄媚人。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.
10神啊,求你定他们的罪! 愿他们因自己的计谋跌倒; 求你因他们过犯众多赶逐他们, 因为他们背叛了你。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.
11凡投靠你的,愿他们喜乐,时常欢呼, 因为你庇护他们; 又愿那爱你名的人都靠你欢欣。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.
12耶和华啊,因为你必赐福给义人, 你必用恩惠如同盾牌四面护卫他。For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
