Salme 5
1 Til Sangmesteren; paa Nekiloth; en Psalme af David.
Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)
2 Herre! vend dine Øren til mine Ord, agt paa min Tanke!
Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for to thee do I pray.
3 Giv Agt paa mit Raabs Røst, min Konge og min Gud! thi til dig beder jeg.
O Jehovah, in the morning thou shall hear my voice. In the morning I will direct to thee, and will keep watch.
4 Herre! om Morgenen høre du min Røst! jeg vil fremstille mig om Morgenen for dig og vente.
For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 Thi du er ikke en Gud, som har Lyst til Ugudelighed; den onde skal ikke bo hos dig.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight. Thou hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Daarer skulle ikke bestaa for dine Øjne! du hader alle dem, som gøre Uret.
Thou will destroy those who speak lies. Jehovah abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7 Du lader dem, som tale Løgn, gaa til Grunde: Herren har Vederstyggelighed til en blodgerrig og falsk Mand.
But as for me, in the abundance of thy loving kindness I will come into thy house. In thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Men jeg vil komme til dit Hus ved din store Miskundhed; jeg vil tilbede imod dit hellige Tempel i din Frygt.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of my enemies. Make thy way straight before my face.
9 Herre! led mig i din Retfærdighed for mine Fjenders Skyld; jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongue they deceive.
10 Thi i deres Mund er intet bestandigt; deres Indre er Ondskab; deres Strube er en aaben Grav, de smigre med deres Tunge.
Hold them guilty, O God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions. For they have rebelled against thee.
11 Gud! døm dem skyldige, at de falde formedelst deres Anslag; nedstød dem for deres mange Overtrædelsers Skyld, thi de ere genstridige imod dig.
But let all those who take refuge in thee rejoice. Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defend them. Let those also who love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 Men alle, som forlade sig paa dig, skulle glæde sig, de skulle fryde sig evindelig, og du skal skjule over dem; og de, som elske dit Navn, skulle fryde sig i dig. Thi du, Herre! velsigner en retfærdig, du dækker ham med Naade som med et Skjold.
For thou will bless the righteous man, O Jehovah. Thou will encompass him with favor as with a shield. (Selah)
