Rejoice in You
Rejoice in You
by Chris Heesch
Give ear to my words, O LORD
Please hear my spirit groaning
Listen to the sound of my cry
To You, my God and King
In the morning, You’ll hear my voice as I offer my prayer
And I will watch for Your answer in eager expectation
For You are not a god who delights in sin
No evil dwells with You
And the prideful shall not stand
For You despise evil men
But as for me, I’ll come into Your house
Covered by Your abundant mercy
And in fear of You I’ll lay face down
Before Your throne in grateful worship
Oh, lead me in Your ways
Make Your path before me straight
Protect me from my enemies who attack me night and day
For their mouths are full of lies
And their hearts are wickedness
Their throats are an open grave
They trick many with their tongues
Convict them, O God
Let their rebellion lead to their fall
But for Your church, I pray
I pray…
Let all who trust in You be glad
Let them sing for joy all of their lives
For You guard them on every side
Let those in You rejoice in You
Surely You will bless Your own
You’ll defend them with Your steadfast love
With a shield the enemy can’t touch
Let those in You rejoice in You
For our enemies are strong, but You have overcome
So let Your people all over the earth exult in You
永恒主啊，侧耳听我说的话，
留意我所沉思的哦。
我的王我的上帝啊，
留心听我呼救的声音哦；
因为我是向你祈祷的。
永恒主啊，早晨你必听我的声音；
早晨我必向你陈明，来企望着。
因为你不是喜爱邪恶的上帝；
坏人不能寄居在你那里。
狂傲之人不能在你眼前站着；
作孽之人都是你所恨恶的。
说谎话的、你必杀灭；
好流人血弄诡诈的人
都是永恒主所厌恶的。
至于我呢、我必凭你坚爱之丰盛
进入你的殿；
我必存敬畏你的心
向你的圣殿堂敬拜。
永恒主啊，求你因那窥伺我者的缘故、
凭你的义气来引领我，
使你的道路在我面前平直。
因为他们口中都没有定性；
他们的脏腑满有毁灭；
他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓；
他们用舌头谄媚人。
上帝啊，定他们为有罪；
愿他们由自己的计谋而败倒；
愿你因他们的许多过犯而驱逐他们；
因为他们悖逆了你。
但凡避难于你里面的、愿他们都喜乐，
永远欢呼；愿你掩护他们；
愿爱你名的人都靠着你而欢欣。
因为是你、永恒主啊，你赐福给义人；
你用恩悦如盾牌四面围护他。
(诗篇 5:1-12 吕振中)
