Salme 5

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

TO THE OVERSEER. [BLOWN] INTO THE PIPES. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear my sayings, O YHWH, Consider my (meditation)

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

Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For I pray to You habitually.

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

YHWH, [in] the morning You hear my voice, [In] the morning I set in array for You, And I look out [expectantly].

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

For You [are] not a God desiring wickedness, Evil does not inhabit You.

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

The boastful do not station themselves before Your eyes: You have hated all working iniquity.

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

You destroy those speaking lies, YHWH detests a man of blood and deceit.

7 Men jeg kan gå ind i dit Hus af din store Nåde og vendt mod dit hellige Tempel bøje mig i din Frygt.

And I, in the abundance of Your kindness, I enter Your house, I bow myself toward Your holy temple in Your fear.

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

O YHWH, lead me in Your righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make Your way straight before me,

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

For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, Their throat [is] an open grave, They make their tongue smooth.

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

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

For You bless the righteous, O YHWH, Surrounding him with favor as a buckler!
