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 wind instruments. A psalm of David. Listen to my call to you, Yahweh; think about my groanings.

2 intende voci orationis meae rex meus et Deus meus

Listen to the sound of my call, my King and my God, for it is to you that I pray.

3 quoniam ad te orabo Domine mane exaudies vocem meam

Yahweh, in the morning you hear my cry; in the morning I will bring my petition to you and wait expectantly.

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

Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people will not be your guests.

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

The arrogant will not stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.

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

You will destroy liars; Yahweh despises violent and deceitful men.

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

But as for me, because of your great covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house; in reverence I will bow down toward your holy temple.

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

Oh Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your path straight before me.

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

For there is no truth in their mouth; their inward being is wicked; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with 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

Declare them guilty, God; may their schemes be their downfall! Drive them out for their many 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 may all those who take refuge in you rejoice; let them always shout for joy because you defend them; let them be joyful in you, those who love your name.

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

For you will bless the righteous, Yahweh; you will surround them with favor as with a shield.
