Salme 5
1 Til Sangmesteren; paa Nekiloth; en Psalme af David.
Unto the end. For her who pursues the inheritance. A Psalm of David. O Lord, listen closely to my words. Understand my outcry.
2 Herre! vend dine Øren til mine Ord, agt paa min Tanke!
Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.
3 Giv Agt paa mit Raabs Røst, min Konge og min Gud! thi til dig beder jeg.
For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.
4 Herre! om Morgenen høre du min Røst! jeg vil fremstille mig om Morgenen for dig og vente.
In the morning, I will stand before you, and I will see. For you are not a God who wills iniquity.
5 Thi du er ikke en Gud, som har Lyst til Ugudelighed; den onde skal ikke bo hos dig.
And the malicious will not dwell close to you, nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.
6 Daarer skulle ikke bestaa for dine Øjne! du hader alle dem, som gøre Uret.
You hate all who work iniquity. You will destroy all who speak a lie. The bloody and deceitful man, the Lord will abominate.
7 Du lader dem, som tale Løgn, gaa til Grunde: Herren har Vederstyggelighed til en blodgerrig og falsk Mand.
But I am in the multitude of your mercy. I will enter your house. I will show adoration toward your holy temple, in your fear.
8 Men jeg vil komme til dit Hus ved din store Miskundhed; jeg vil tilbede imod dit hellige Tempel i din Frygt.
Lord, lead me in your justice. Because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.
9 Herre! led mig i din Retfærdighed for mine Fjenders Skyld; jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
10 Thi i deres Mund er intet bestandigt; deres Indre er Ondskab; deres Strube er en aaben Grav, de smigre med deres Tunge.
Their throat is an open sepulcher. They have acted deceitfully with their tongues. Judge them, O God. Let them fall by their own intentions: according to the multitude of their impiety, expel them. For they have provoked you, O Lord.
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 hope in you rejoice. They will exult in eternity, and you will dwell in them. And all those who love your name will glory 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 you will bless the just. You have crowned us, O Lord, as if with a shield of your good will.
