PSALMS 诗篇005

PSALM¹ 5
1Give ear to my words, O Lord , consider my sighing.
2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3In the morning, O Lord , you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
4You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.
5The arrogant² cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.
6You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the Lord abhors³.
7But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence⁴ will I bow down toward your holy temple.
8Lead me, O Lord , in your righteousness because of my enemies- make straight your way before me.
9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.
10Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues⁵ be their downfall. Banish⁶ them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12For surely, O Lord , you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
