Psalmorum 5
1 In finem pro ea, quæ hereditatem consequitur, Psalmus David. Verba mea auribus percipe Domine, intellige clamorem meum.
“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with wind instruments. A psalm of David.” Give ear to my words, O LORD; Have regard to my cry!
2 Intende voci orationis meæ, Rex meus et Deus meus.
Listen to the voice of my supplication, my King and my God! For to thee do I address my prayer.
3 Quoniam ad te orabo: Domine mane exaudies vocem meam.
In the morning shalt thou hear my voice, O LORD! In the morning will I address my prayer to thee, and look for help.
4 Mane astabo tibi et videbo: quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; The unrighteous man dwelleth not with thee.
5 Neque habitabit iuxta te malignus: neque permanebunt iniusti ante oculos tuos.
The haughty shall not stand in thy sight; Thou hatest all that do iniquity.
6 Odisti omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem: perdes omnes, qui loquuntur mendacium. Virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus:
Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; The man of blood and deceit the LORD abhorreth.
7 ego autem in multitudine misericordiæ tuæ. Introibo in domum tuam: adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum in timore tuo.
But I, through thy great goodness, will come to thy house; In thy fear will I worship at thy holy temple.
8 Domine deduc me in iustitia tua: propter inimicos meos dirige in conspectu tuo viam meam.
Lead me, O LORD! in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies; Make thy path straight before my face!
9 Quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas: cor eorum vanum est.
For in their mouth there is no truth; Their heart is malignity; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.
10 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.
Requite them, O God! Let them be confounded in their devices; Cast them out for the multitude of their transgressions; For against thee have they rebelled!
11 Et lætentur omnes, qui sperant in te, in æternum exultabunt: et habitabis in eis. Et gloriabuntur in te omnes, qui diligunt nomen tuum,
But let all, that put their trust in thee, rejoice; Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; Let them, that love thy name, be joyful in thee!
12 quoniam tu benedices iusto. Domine, ut scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti nos.
For thou, O LORD! dost bless the righteous; With favor dost thou encompass him, as with a shield.
