Salme 5
1 (Til sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En salme af David.) HERRE, lytt til mit Ord og agt på mit suk,
Unto the end. For her who pursues the inheritance. A Psalm of David. O Lord, listen closely to my words. Understand my outcry.
2 lån Øre til mit Nødråb, min Konge og Gud, thi jeg beder til dig!
Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.
3 Årle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, årle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.
For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.
4 Thi du er ikke en Gud, der ynder Ugudelighed, den onde kan ikke gæste dig,
In the morning, I will stand before you, and I will see. For you are not a God who wills iniquity.
5 for dig skal Dårer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udådsmand,
And the malicious will not dwell close to you, nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.
6 tilintetgør dem, der farer med Løgn; en blodstænkt, svigefuld Mand er HERREN en Afsky.
You hate all who work iniquity. You will destroy all who speak a lie. The bloody and deceitful man, the Lord will abominate.
7 Men jeg kan gå ind i dit Hus af din store Nåde og vendt mod dit hellige Tempel bøje mig i din Frygt.
But I am in the multitude of your mercy. I will enter your house. I will show adoration toward your holy temple, in your fear.
8 Så led mig for mine Fjenders Skyld i din Retfærd, HERRE, jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
Lord, lead me in your justice. Because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.
9 Thi blottet for Sandhed er deres Mund, deres Hjerte en Afgrund, Struben en åben Grav, deres Tunge er glat.
For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
10 Døm dem, o Gud, lad dem falde for egne Rænker, bortstød dem for deres Synders Mængde, de trodser jo dig.
Their throat is an open sepulcher. They have acted deceitfully with their tongues. Judge them, O God. Let them fall by their own intentions: according to the multitude of their impiety, expel them. For they have provoked you, O Lord.
11 Lad alle glædes, som lider på dig, evindelig frydes, skærm dem, som elsker dit Navn, lad dem juble i dig!
But let all those who hope in you rejoice. They will exult in eternity, and you will dwell in them. And all those who love your name will glory in you.
12 Thi du velsigner den retfærdige, HERRE, du dækker ham med Nåde som Skjold.
For you will bless the just. You have crowned us, O Lord, as if with a shield of your good will.
