Psalmorum 5

1 In finem, pro ea quæ hæreditatem consequitur. Psalmus David. [Verba mea auribus percipe, Domine; intellige clamorem meum.

To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)

2 Intende voci orationis meæ, rex meus et Deus meus.

Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.

3 Quoniam ad te orabo, Domine: mane exaudies vocem meam.

Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will waite.

4 Mane astabo tibi, et videbo quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es.

For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.

5 Neque habitabit juxta te malignus, neque permanebunt injusti ante oculos tuos.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.

6 Odisti omnes qui operantur iniquitatem; perdes omnes qui loquuntur mendacium. Virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus.

Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.

7 Ego autem in multitudine misericordiæ tuæ introibo in domum tuam; adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum in timore tuo.

But I wil come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercie: and in thy feare will I worship toward thine holy Temple.

8 Domine, deduc me in justitia tua: propter inimicos meos dirige in conspectu tuo viam meam.

Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.

9 Quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas; cor eorum vanum est.

For no constancie is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throte is an open sepulchre, and they flatter with their tongue.

10 Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum; linguis suis dolose agebant: judica illos, Deus. Decidant a cogitationibus suis; secundum multitudinem impietatum eorum expelle eos, quoniam irritaverunt te, Domine.

Destroy them, O God: let them fall from their counsels: cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they haue rebelled against thee.

11 Et lætentur omnes qui sperant in te; in æternum exsultabunt, et habitabis in eis. Et gloriabuntur in te omnes qui diligunt nomen tuum,

And let all them that trust in thee, reioyce and triumph for euer, and couer thou them: and let them, that loue thy Name, reioyce in thee.

12 quoniam tu benedices justo. Domine, ut scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti nos.]

For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
