Psalmorum 5

1 in finem pro ea quae hereditatem consequitur psalmus David verba mea auribus percipe Domine intellege clamorem meum

For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)

2 intende voci orationis meae rex meus et Deus meus

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do I pray.

3 quoniam ad te orabo Domine mane exaudies vocem meam

O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.

4 mane adstabo tibi et videbo quoniam non deus volens iniquitatem tu es

For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with Thee.

5 neque habitabit iuxta te malignus neque permanebunt iniusti ante oculos tuos

The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of 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 LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.

7 ego autem in multitudine misericordiae tuae introibo in domum tuam adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum in timore tuo

But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.

8 Domine deduc me in iustitia tua propter inimicos meos dirige in conspectu meo viam tuam

O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my face.

9 quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas cor eorum vanum est

For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their inward part is a yawning gulf, their throat is an open sepulchre; they make smooth 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 inritaverunt te Domine

Hold them guilty, O God, let them fall by their own counsels; cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against Thee.

11 et laetentur omnes qui sperant in te in aeternum exultabunt et habitabis in eis et gloriabuntur in te omnes qui diligunt nomen tuum

So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, they shall ever shout for joy, and Thou shalt shelter them; let them also that love Thy name exult in Thee.

12 quoniam tu benedices iusto Domine ut scuto bonae voluntatis coronasti nos

For Thou dost bless the righteous; O LORD, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.
