< Salme 5 >
1 Til Sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En Salme af David.
TO THE OVERSEER. [BLOWN] INTO THE PIPES. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear my sayings, O YHWH, Consider my (meditation)
2 HERRE, lyt til mit Ord og agt paa mit suk,
Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For I pray to You habitually.
3 laan Øre til mit Nødraab, min Konge og Gud, thi jeg beder til dig!
YHWH, [in] the morning You hear my voice, [In] the morning I set in array for You, And I look out [expectantly].
4 Aarle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, aarle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.
For You [are] not a God desiring wickedness, Evil does not inhabit You.
5 Thi du er ikke en Gud, der ynder Ugudelighed, den onde kan ikke gæste dig,
The boastful do not station themselves before Your eyes: You have hated all working iniquity.
6 for dig skal Daarer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udaadsmand,
You destroy those speaking lies, YHWH detests a man of blood and deceit.
7 tilintetgør dem, der farer med Løgn; en blodstænkt, svigefuld Mand er HERREN en Afsky.
And I, in the abundance of Your kindness, I enter Your house, I bow myself 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.
O YHWH, lead me in Your righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make Your way straight before me,
9 Saa led mig for mine Fjenders Skyld i din Retfærd, HERRE, jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, Their throat [is] an open grave, They make their tongue smooth.
10 Thi blottet for Sandhed er deres Mund, deres Hjerte en Afgrund, Struben en aaben Grav, deres Tunge er glat.
Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have been rebellious against You.
11 Døm dem, o Gud, lad dem falde for egne Rænker, bortstød dem for deres Synders Mængde, de trodser jo dig.
And all trusting in You rejoice, They sing for all time, and You cover them over, And those loving Your Name exult 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 bless the righteous, O YHWH, Surrounding him with favor as a buckler!
