Salme 5

1 Til Sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En Salme af David.

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)

2 HERRE, lyt til mit Ord og agt paa mit suk,

Listen to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to you will I pray.

3 laan Øre til mit Nødraab, min Konge og Gud, thi jeg beder til dig!

My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer to you, and will look up.

4 Aarle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, aarle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.

For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.

5 Thi du er ikke en Gud, der ynder Ugudelighed, den onde kan ikke gæste dig,

The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.

6 for dig skal Daarer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udaadsmand,

You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7 tilintetgør dem, der farer med Løgn; en blodstænkt, svigefuld Mand er HERREN en Afsky.

But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.

8 Men jeg kan gaa ind i dit Hus af din store Naade og vendt mod dit hellige Tempel bøje mig i din Frygt.

Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face.

9 Saa led mig for mine Fjenders Skyld i din Retfærd, HERRE, jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.

10 Thi blottet for Sandhed er deres Mund, deres Hjerte en Afgrund, Struben en aaben Grav, deres Tunge er glat.

Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.

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 that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful 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, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor will you compass him as with a shield.
