Salme 5
1 (Til sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En salme af David.) HERRE, lytt til mit Ord og agt på mit suk,
For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David. Give ear to my words, Yahweh. 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 I pray to you.
3 Årle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, årle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.
Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
4 Thi du er ikke en Gud, der ynder Ugudelighed, den onde kan ikke gæste dig,
For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.
5 for dig skal Dårer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udådsmand,
The arrogant will 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 will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty 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, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8 Så led mig for mine Fjenders Skyld i din Retfærd, HERRE, jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
Lead me, Yahweh, 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 heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. 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.
Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust 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 who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
12 Thi du velsigner den retfærdige, HERRE, du dækker ham med Nåde som Skjold.
For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
