Salme 5
1 (Til sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En salme af David.) HERRE, lytt til mit Ord og agt på mit suk,
For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.
2 lån Øre til mit Nødråb, min Konge og Gud, thi jeg beder til dig!
Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.
3 Årle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, årle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.
Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.
4 Thi du er ikke en Gud, der ynder Ugudelighed, den onde kan ikke gæste dig,
For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.
5 for dig skal Dårer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udådsmand,
The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.
6 tilintetgør dem, der farer med Løgn; en blodstænkt, svigefuld Mand er HERREN en Afsky.
You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.
7 Men jeg kan gå ind i dit Hus af din store Nåde og vendt mod dit hellige Tempel bøje mig i din Frygt.
But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.
8 Så led mig for mine Fjenders Skyld i din Retfærd, HERRE, jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.
9 Thi blottet for Sandhed er deres Mund, deres Hjerte en Afgrund, Struben en åben Grav, deres Tunge er glat.
Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.
10 Døm dem, o Gud, lad dem falde for egne Rænker, bortstød dem for deres Synders Mængde, de trodser jo dig.
God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11 Lad alle glædes, som lider på dig, evindelig frydes, skærm dem, som elsker dit Navn, lad dem juble i dig!
But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.
12 Thi du velsigner den retfærdige, HERRE, du dækker ham med Nåde som Skjold.
For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
