Salme 5

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

For the chief musician; with wind instruments. A psalm of David. Listen to my call to you, Yahweh; think about my groanings.

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

Listen to the sound of my call, my King and my God, for it is to you that I pray.

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

Yahweh, in the morning you hear my cry; in the morning I will bring my petition to you and wait expectantly.

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

Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people will not be your guests.

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

The arrogant will not stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.

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

You will destroy liars; Yahweh despises violent and deceitful men.

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

But as for me, because of your great covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house; in reverence I will bow down 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.

Oh Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your path 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 truth in their mouth; their inward being is wicked; their throat is an open tomb; 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.

Declare them guilty, God; may their schemes be their downfall! Drive them out for their many 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 may all those who take refuge in you rejoice; let them always shout for joy because you defend them; let them be joyful in you, those who love your name.

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 righteous, Yahweh; you will surround them with favor as with a shield.
