< Psalmorum 5 >
1 in finem pro ea quae hereditatem consequitur psalmus David verba mea auribus percipe Domine intellege clamorem meum
To the Chief Musician. For the Flutes. A Melody of David. To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:
2 intende voci orationis meae rex meus et Deus meus
Attend to 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 Yahweh! in the morning, shalt thou hear my voice, In the morning, will I set in order unto thee, and keep watch;
4 mane adstabo tibi et videbo quoniam non deus volens iniquitatem tu es
For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:
5 neque habitabit iuxta te malignus neque permanebunt iniusti ante oculos tuos
Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes, —Thou hatest all workers of iniquity:
6 odisti omnes qui operantur iniquitatem perdes omnes qui loquuntur mendacium virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus
Thou wilt destroy them who speak falsehood, —The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh abhorreth.
7 ego autem in multitudine misericordiae tuae introibo in domum tuam adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum in timore tuo
But, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:
8 Domine deduc me in iustitia tua propter inimicos meos dirige in conspectu meo viam tuam
O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:
9 quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas cor eorum vanum est
For in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin, —An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.
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
Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, —Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, 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
That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.
12 quoniam tu benedices iusto Domine ut scuto bonae voluntatis coronasti nos
For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield—with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.
