Salme 5

1 (Til sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En salme af David.) HERRE, lytt til mit Ord og agt på mit suk,

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

2 lån Øre til mit Nødråb, min Konge og Gud, thi jeg beder til dig!

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

3 Årle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, årle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.

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

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

5 for dig skal Dårer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udådsmand,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 Døm dem, o Gud, lad dem falde for egne Rænker, bortstød dem for deres Synders Mængde, de trodser jo dig.

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 Lad alle glædes, som lider på dig, evindelig frydes, skærm dem, som elsker dit Navn, lad dem juble i 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 Thi du velsigner den retfærdige, HERRE, du dækker ham med Nåde som Skjold.

For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor will you compass him as with a shield.
