< Psalms 5 >
1 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray! Pay attention to me when I am groaning [because I am suffering very much].
Til Sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En Salme af David.
2 You are my King and my God. When I call to you to ask you to help me, listen to me, because you are the one to whom I pray.
HERRE, lyt til mit Ord og agt paa mit suk,
3 Listen to me when I pray to you [each] morning, and I wait for you to reply.
laan Øre til mit Nødraab, min Konge og Gud, thi jeg beder til dig!
4 You are not a god who is pleased with wicked people; you do not (associate with/invite into your house) [those who do what is] evil.
Aarle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, aarle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.
5 You do not allow those who are very proud to come to you to worship you. You hate all those who do evil things.
Thi du er ikke en Gud, der ynder Ugudelighed, den onde kan ikke gæste dig,
6 You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder [others] and those who deceive [others].
for dig skal Daarer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udaadsmand,
7 Yahweh, because you love me so much and so faithfully, I come into your temple. I revere you greatly, and I bow down to worship you at your sacred temple.
tilintetgør dem, der farer med Løgn; en blodstænkt, svigefuld Mand er HERREN en Afsky.
8 Yahweh, because you act righteously toward me, show me what is right for me to do. Because I have many enemies, show me clearly what you want me to do.
Men jeg kan gaa ind i dit Hus af din store Naade og vendt mod dit hellige Tempel bøje mig i din Frygt.
9 My enemies never say what is true; they just want to destroy [others]. The things that they say [MTY] are [as foul as] an open grave [where a corpse is decaying]. They use their tongues to tell lies.
Saa led mig for mine Fjenders Skyld i din Retfærd, HERRE, jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
10 O God, declare that they are guilty [MTY] [and punish them]. Cause them to experience the same disasters/troubles that they plan to cause to happen to others. Get rid of them because they have committed many sins, and 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 cause that all those who go to you to be protected will rejoice; cause them to sing joyfully to you forever. Protect those who love you [MTY]; they are truly happy because (of what you [do for them/they belong to] you).
Døm dem, o Gud, lad dem falde for egne Rænker, bortstød dem for deres Synders Mængde, de trodser jo dig.
12 Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them like a [soldier is protected by his] shield [SIM].
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.
