Psalms 5

1 For the chief musician; with wind instruments. A psalm of David. Listen to my call to you, Yahweh; think about my groanings.

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

2 Listen to the sound of my call, my King and my God, for it is to you that I pray.

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

3 Yahweh, in the morning you hear my cry; in the morning I will bring my petition to you and wait expectantly.

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

4 Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people will not be your guests.

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

5 The arrogant will not stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.

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

6 You will destroy liars; Yahweh despises violent and deceitful men.

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

7 But as for me, because of your great covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house; in reverence I will bow down 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 Oh Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your path straight before me.

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 inward being is wicked; 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 Declare them guilty, God; may their schemes be their downfall! Drive them out for their many 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 may all those who take refuge in you rejoice; let them always shout for joy because you defend them; let them be joyful in you, those who love your name.

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

12 For you will bless the righteous, Yahweh; you will surround them with favor as with a shield.

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