Salme 5
1 Til Sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En Salme 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, lyt til mit Ord og agt paa mit suk,
Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.
3 laan Øre til mit Nødraab, min Konge og Gud, thi jeg beder til dig!
For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.
4 Aarle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, aarle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.
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, der ynder Ugudelighed, den onde kan ikke gæste dig,
And the malicious will not dwell close to you, nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.
6 for dig skal Daarer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udaadsmand,
You hate all who work iniquity. You will destroy all who speak a lie. The bloody and deceitful man, the Lord will abominate.
7 tilintetgør dem, der farer med Løgn; en blodstænkt, svigefuld Mand er HERREN en Afsky.
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 kan gaa ind i dit Hus af din store Naade og vendt mod dit hellige Tempel bøje mig i din Frygt.
Lord, lead me in your justice. Because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.
9 Saa led mig for mine Fjenders Skyld i din Retfærd, HERRE, jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
10 Thi blottet for Sandhed er deres Mund, deres Hjerte en Afgrund, Struben en aaben Grav, deres Tunge er glat.
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 Døm dem, o Gud, lad dem falde for egne Rænker, bortstød dem for deres Synders Mængde, de trodser jo 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 Lad alle glædes, som lider paa dig, evindelig frydes, skærm dem, som elsker dit Navn, lad dem juble i dig! Thi du velsigner den retfærdige, HERRE, du dækker ham med Naade som Skjold.
For you will bless the just. You have crowned us, O Lord, as if with a shield of your good will.
