Salme 5
1 Til Sangmesteren; paa Nekiloth; en Psalme af David.
[For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, YHWH. Consider my (meditation)
2 Herre! vend dine Øren til mine Ord, agt paa min Tanke!
Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.
3 Giv Agt paa mit Raabs Røst, min Konge og min Gud! thi til dig beder jeg.
YHWH, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and watch.
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 desires wickedness. Evil can't live with you.
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 your sight. You hate all evildoers.
6 Daarer skulle ikke bestaa for dine Øjne! du hader alle dem, som gøre Uret.
You will destroy those who speak lies. YHWH despises a person of bloodshed and deceit.
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 your loving kindness I will enter into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8 Men jeg vil komme til dit Hus ved din store Miskundhed; jeg vil tilbede imod dit hellige Tempel i din Frygt.
Lead me, YHWH, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before me.
9 Herre! led mig i din Retfærdighed for mine Fjenders Skyld; jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
For there is nothing reliable in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they flatter.
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, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out because of the multitude of their 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 those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. And let those who love your name be joyful 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 bless the righteous, YHWH. You surround him with favor like a shield.
