Psalmorum 5

1 in finem pro ea quae hereditatem consequitur psalmus David verba mea auribus percipe Domine intellege clamorem meum

For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.

2 intende voci orationis meae rex meus et Deus meus

Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.

3 quoniam ad te orabo Domine mane exaudies vocem meam

In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

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

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.

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

The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.

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

You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

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

But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; 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

Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

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

For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

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, O God; let them fall by their own devices. 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 let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

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

For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
