Psalms 5

1 To the Overseer, 'Concerning the Inheritances.' — A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)

In finem pro ea, quæ hereditatem consequitur, Psalmus David. Verba mea auribus percipe Domine, intellige clamorem meum.

2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

Intende voci orationis meæ, rex meus et Deus meus.

3 Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

Quoniam ad te orabo: Domine mane exaudies vocem meam.

4 For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

Mane astabo tibi et videbo: quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es.

5 The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

Neque habitabit iuxta te malignus: neque permanebunt iniusti ante oculos tuos.

6 Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

Odisti omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem: perdes omnes, qui loquuntur mendacium. Virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus:

7 And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.

ego autem in multitudine misericordiæ tuæ. Introibo in domum tuam: adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum in timore tuo.

8 O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

Domine deduc me in iustitia tua: propter inimicos meos dirige in conspectu tuo viam meam.

9 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

Quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas: cor eorum vanum est.

10 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum, linguis suis dolose agebant, iudica illos Deus. Decidant a cogitationibus suis, secundum multitudinem impietatum eorum expelle eos, quoniam irritaverunt te Domine.

11 And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.

Et lætentur omnes, qui sperant in te, in æternum exultabunt: et habitabis in eis. Et gloriabuntur in te omnes, qui diligunt nomen tuum,

12 For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!

quoniam tu benedices iusto. Domine, ut scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti nos.
