Psalmorum 5
1 In finem, pro ea quæ hæreditatem consequitur. Psalmus David. Verba mea auribus percipe, Domine; intellige clamorem meum.
“To the chief musician upon Nechiloth, a psalm of David.” To my words give ear, O Lord, have regard to my mediation.
2 Intende voci orationis meæ, rex meus et Deus meus.
Listen unto the voice of my loud cry, my King, and my God, when unto thee I pray.
3 Quoniam ad te orabo, Domine: mane exaudies vocem meam.
O Lord! in the morning do thou hear my voice: in the morning will I set in order [my prayer] before thee, and 1ook up with hope.
4 Mane astabo tibi, et videbo quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil cannot abide with thee.
5 Neque habitabit juxta te malignus, neque permanebunt injusti ante oculos tuos.
The arrogant cannot stand up before thy eyes: thou hatest all workers of wickedness.
6 Odisti omnes qui operantur iniquitatem; perdes omnes qui loquuntur mendacium. Virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus.
Thou wilt destroy those that speak lies: 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 as for me—in the abundance of thy kindness will I enter thy house: I will bow myself down before thy holy temple in the fear of thee.
8 Domine, deduc me in justitia tua: propter inimicos meos dirige in conspectu tuo viam meam.
O Lord, lead me in thy righteousness because of those that regard me enviously; make straight before me thy way.
9 Quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas; cor eorum vanum est.
For there is not in their mouth any sincerity; their inward part is full of deception; an open sepulchre is their throat: they flatter with their tongue.
10 Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum; linguis suis dolose agebant: judica illos, Deus. Decidant a cogitationibus suis; secundum multitudinem impietatum eorum expelle eos, quoniam irritaverunt te, Domine.
Condemn them, O God: let them fall through their own counsels; for the multitude of their transgressions cast them down; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 Et lætentur omnes qui sperant in te; in æternum exsultabunt, et habitabis in eis. Et gloriabuntur in te omnes qui diligunt nomen tuum,
Then will rejoice all those that put their trust in thee; for ever will they shout for joy, when thou protectest them: and then will exult in thee those that love thy name.
12 quoniam tu benedices justo. Domine, ut scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti nos.
For thou wilt bless the righteous, O Lord; as with a shield wilt thou encompass him with favor.
