Psalm 5

1 [Psalm lal David] Porongo kas luk, O LEUM GOD, Ac lohng sasao luk.

For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

2 Lohng pusren tung luk ke nga pang nu sum, O God luk ac tokosra luk! Nga pre nu sum, O LEUM GOD.

Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

3 Kom lohng pusrek ke lotutang, Ke faht uh takak nga oru pre luk Ac soano top lom.

Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

4 Kom tia sie God su insewowo ke ma koluk, Ac kom tia lela mwet koluk in muta yurum.

For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

5 Kom tia lela mwet enum in kaskas in tu ye motom, Ac kom srunga mwet koluk nukewa.

The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

6 Kom kunausla mwet nukewa su kaskas kikiap Ac kom kwase mwet akmas ac mwet sulallal.

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

7 Tuh ke sripen lungse yohk lom Nga ku in utyak nu in lohm sum. Nga ku in alu in Tempul mutal sum Ac epasr nu sum ke nga sunakin kom.

But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

8 LEUM GOD, arulana pukanten mwet lokoalok luk! Kolyu tuh nga in oru ma lungse lom. Oru tuh in kalem sik inkanek lom nga in fahsr kac.

Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

9 Kas ma mwet lokoalok luk elos fahk, tia ku in lulalfongiyuk; Elos lungsena kunausla. Kas lalos emwem ac aklukuk, Tusruktu ma inge mwe na kolla mwet nu ke misa.

Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

10 O God, sang mwatalos ac kaelos; Lela tuh pwapa koluk lalos in kunauselosla sifacna. Luselosyak liki ye motom Ke sripen ma koluk pus lalos Ac ke sripen elos lain kom.

God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.

11 A elos nukewa su konauk molela yurum fah enganak; Elos in on ac engan pacl nukewa. Karinganulosyang su lungse kom; Ke sripom elos arulana engan.

But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

12 O LEUM GOD, kom akinsewowoyalos su akos kom; Lungse lom karinganulos oana sie mwe loeyuk.

For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
