Psalms 5

1 [For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, YHWH. Consider my (meditation)

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

2 Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.

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

3 YHWH, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and watch.

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

4 For you are not a God who desires wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

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

5 The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all evildoers.

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

6 You will destroy those who speak lies. YHWH despises a person of bloodshed and deceit.

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

7 But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will enter into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

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

8 Lead me, YHWH, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight 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 there is nothing reliable in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they flatter.

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

10 Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out because of the multitude of their 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 those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. And let those who love your name be joyful in you.

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

12 For you bless the righteous, YHWH. You surround him with favor like a shield.

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.
