Salme 5
1 (Til sangmesteren. El-hannehilot. En salme af David.) HERRE, lytt til mit Ord og agt på mit suk,
For the leader: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute. Hear my words, Lord: give heed to my whisper.
2 lån Øre til mit Nødråb, min Konge og Gud, thi jeg beder til dig!
Attend to my loud cry for help, my king and my God.
3 Årle hører du, HERRE, min Røst, årle bringer jeg dig min Sag og spejder.
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.
4 Thi du er ikke en Gud, der ynder Ugudelighed, den onde kan ikke gæste dig,
For you are no God who takes pleasure in wickedness: no one of evil can be your guest.
5 for dig skal Dårer ej træde frem, du hader hver Udådsmand,
No braggarts can stand in your presence, you hate all workers of wrong.
6 tilintetgør dem, der farer med Løgn; en blodstænkt, svigefuld Mand er HERREN en Afsky.
You destroy all speakers of lies, people of blood and deceit you abhor.
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, through your kindness abundant, may enter your house, and towards the shrine of your temple may reverently bow.
8 Så led mig for mine Fjenders Skyld i din Retfærd, HERRE, jævn din Vej for mit Ansigt!
Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way level before me.
9 Thi blottet for Sandhed er deres Mund, deres Hjerte en Afgrund, Struben en åben Grav, deres Tunge er glat.
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.
10 Døm dem, o Gud, lad dem falde for egne Rænker, bortstød dem for deres Synders Mængde, de trodser jo dig.
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.
11 Lad alle glædes, som lider på dig, evindelig frydes, skærm dem, som elsker dit Navn, lad dem juble i dig!
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.
12 Thi du velsigner den retfærdige, HERRE, du dækker ham med Nåde som Skjold.
For you give your blessing, Lord, to the godly, and the shield of your favour protects them.
