Psalms 5

1 Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)

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

2 Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for to thee do I pray.

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

3 O Jehovah, in the morning thou shall hear my voice. In the morning I will direct to thee, and will keep watch.

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

4 For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

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

5 The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight. Thou hate all workers of iniquity.

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

6 Thou will destroy those who speak lies. Jehovah abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

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

7 But as for me, in the abundance of thy loving kindness I will come into thy house. In thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.

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

8 Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of my enemies. Make thy way straight before my face.

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

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongue they deceive.

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

10 Hold them guilty, O God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions. For they have rebelled against thee.

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

11 But let all those who take refuge in thee rejoice. Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defend them. Let those also who love thy name be joyful in thee.

Lad alle glædes, som lider på dig, evindelig frydes, skærm dem, som elsker dit Navn, lad dem juble i dig!

12 For thou will bless the righteous man, O Jehovah. Thou will encompass him with favor as with a shield. (Selah)

Thi du velsigner den retfærdige, HERRE, du dækker ham med Nåde som Skjold.
