Salme 5
1 Til Sangmesteren; paa Nekiloth; en Psalme af David.
For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David. Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my (meditation)
2 Herre! vend dine Øren til mine Ord, agt paa min Tanke!
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.
3 Giv Agt paa mit Raabs Røst, min Konge og min Gud! thi til dig beder jeg.
Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
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 has pleasure in 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 will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Daarer skulle ikke bestaa for dine Øjne! du hader alle dem, som gøre Uret.
You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty 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 your loving kindness I will come 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, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your 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 heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
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. Thrust them out in 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. Let them also 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 will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
