Salme 5
1 Til Sangmesteren; paa Nekiloth; en Psalme af David.
For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
2 Herre! vend dine Øren til mine Ord, agt paa min Tanke!
Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.
3 Giv Agt paa mit Raabs Røst, min Konge og min Gud! thi til dig beder jeg.
In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.
4 Herre! om Morgenen høre du min Røst! jeg vil fremstille mig om Morgenen for dig og vente.
For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.
5 Thi du er ikke en Gud, som har Lyst til Ugudelighed; den onde skal ikke bo hos dig.
The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Daarer skulle ikke bestaa for dine Øjne! du hader alle dem, som gøre Uret.
You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7 Du lader dem, som tale Løgn, gaa til Grunde: Herren har Vederstyggelighed til en blodgerrig og falsk Mand.
But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your 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 LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.
9 Herre! led mig i din Retfærdighed for mine Fjenders Skyld; jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.
10 Thi i deres Mund er intet bestandigt; deres Indre er Ondskab; deres Strube er en aaben Grav, de smigre med deres Tunge.
Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
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 who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
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 surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
