Psalms 5

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

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

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto you will I pray.

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

3 My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 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.

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 LORD, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make your 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 tomb; they flatter with their tongue.

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

10 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.

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 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.

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

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

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