1Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.
1大卫的诗,交给诗班长,用管乐伴奏。耶和华啊!求你留心听我的话,顾念我的叹息。
2Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.
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。
3Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
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。
4For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.
4因为你是不喜爱邪恶的 神,恶人不能与你同住。
5The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.
5狂傲的人不能在你眼前站立,你恨恶所有作恶的人。
6You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
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。
7But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
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。
8Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.
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。
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
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。
10Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
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。
11But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
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。
12For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
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。
