Psalms 5
1 For the leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute. Hear my words, Lord: give heed to my whisper.
In finem pro ea, quæ hereditatem consequitur, Psalmus David. Verba mea auribus percipe Domine, intellige clamorem meum.
2 Attend to my loud cry for help, my king and my God.
Intende voci orationis meæ, Rex meus et Deus meus.
3 When I pray to you, Lord, in the morning, hear my voice. I make ready for you in the morning, and look for a sign.
Quoniam ad te orabo: Domine mane exaudies vocem meam.
4 For you are no God who takes pleasure in wickedness: no one of evil can be your guest.
Mane astabo tibi et videbo: quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es.
5 No braggarts can stand in your presence, you hate all workers of wrong.
Neque habitabit iuxta te malignus: neque permanebunt iniusti ante oculos tuos.
6 You destroy all speakers of lies, people of blood and deceit you abhor.
Odisti omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem: perdes omnes, qui loquuntur mendacium. Virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus:
7 But I, through your kindness abundant, may enter your house, and towards the shrine of your temple may reverently bow.
ego autem in multitudine misericordiæ tuæ. Introibo in domum tuam: adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum in timore tuo.
8 Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way level before me.
Domine deduc me in iustitia tua: propter inimicos meos dirige in conspectu tuo viam meam.
9 For their mouth is a stranger to truth, their heart is a pit of destruction. Their throat is a wide open grave, their tongue the smooth tongue of the hypocrite.
Quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas: cor eorum vanum est.
10 Condemn them, God; let their schemes bring them down to the ground. For their numberless crimes thrust them down for playing the rebel against you.
Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum, linguis suis dolose agebant, iudica illos Deus. Decidant a cogitationibus suis, secundum multitudinem impietatum eorum expelle eos, quoniam irritaverunt te Domine.
11 But let all who take refuge in you ring out their gladness forever. Protect those who love your name, so they may exult in you.
Et lætentur omnes, qui sperant in te, in æternum exultabunt: et habitabis in eis. Et gloriabuntur in te omnes, qui diligunt nomen tuum,
12 For you give your blessing, Lord, to the godly, and the shield of your favour protects them.
quoniam tu benedices iusto. Domine, ut scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti nos.
