Psalmorum 5
1 In finem, pro ea quæ hæreditatem 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 juxta te malignus, neque permanebunt injusti 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 justitia 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: judica 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 exsultabunt, 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 justo. 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.
