Psalms 5

1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.

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

2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.

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

3 In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon 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 desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.

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

5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

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

6 You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.

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

7 But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear 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 my way plain before your face.

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

9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.

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

10 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.

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

11 But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell among them; and all that love your name shall rejoice 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, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favor.

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