Psalms 5

1 For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.

Til Sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En Salme af David.

2 Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.

HERRE, lyt til mit Ord og agt paa mit suk,

3 In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

laan Øre til mit Nødraab, min Konge og Gud, thi jeg beder til dig!

4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.

Aarle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, aarle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.

5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.

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

6 You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

for dig skal Daarer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udaadsmand,

7 But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.

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

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

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

9 For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

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

10 Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

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

11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

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

12 For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.

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