Psalmorum 5

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

[For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, Jehovah. Consider my (meditation)

2 intende voci orationis meae rex meus et Deus meus

Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.

3 quoniam ad te orabo Domine mane exaudies vocem meam

Jehovah, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and watch.

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

For you are not a God who desires wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

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

The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all evildoers.

6 odisti omnes qui operantur iniquitatem perdes omnes qui loquuntur mendacium virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus

You will destroy those who speak lies. Jehovah despises a person of bloodshed and 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 your loving kindness I will enter into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

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

Lead me, Jehovah, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before me.

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

For there is nothing reliable in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they flatter.

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, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out because of the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

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

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. And let those who love your name be joyful in you.

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

For you bless the righteous, Jehovah. You surround him with favor like a shield.
