Psalms 5

1 For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David. Give ear to my words, LORD. Consider my (meditation)

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

2 Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.

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

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

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

4 For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.

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

5 The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

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

6 You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

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 come 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, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

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 no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

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. Thrust them out in 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. Let them also 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 will bless the righteous. LORD, you will surround him with favor as with 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.
