Psalm 5
New International Version
Psalm 5[a]
For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.
1 Listen(A) to my words, Lord,
consider my lament.(B)
2 Hear my cry for help,(C)
my King and my God,(D)
for to you I pray.
3 In the morning,(E) Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.(F)
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
with you, evil people(G) are not welcome.
5 The arrogant(H) cannot stand(I)
in your presence.
You hate(J) all who do wrong;
6 you destroy those who tell lies.(K)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
you, Lord, detest.
7 But I, by your great love,
can come into your house;
in reverence(L) I bow down(M)
toward your holy temple.(N)
8 Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness(O)
because of my enemies—
make your way straight(P) before me.
9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;(Q)
with their tongues they tell lies.(R)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,(S)
for they have rebelled(T) against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.(U)
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name(V) may rejoice in you.(W)

Psaltaren 5
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Gud står på min sida
1-3 Herre, hör min bön, lyssna till mina ord! Du är min Gud och min kung! Jag kommer aldrig att be till någon annan än dig!
4 Varje morgon ser jag upp till dig i himlen och lägger fram mina önskningar inför dig och väntar på ditt svar.
5 Jag vet att du inte står ut med ondskan och att du inte heller tolererar den minsta synd.
6 Därför kan de högfärdiga aldrig komma undan din blick, för du hatar deras onda gärningar.
7 Du utrotar dem som ljuger, och du avskyr mord och falskhet.
8 Men tack vare din barmhärtighet och kärlek får jag komma till ditt tempel. Jag får tillbe dig med fruktan.
9 Herre, led mig, och visa mig att du är på min sida, för annars kommer mina fiender att besegra mig! Säg mig vad jag ska göra och vart jag ska vända mig!
10 Mina fiender talar inte ett enda sant ord. Deras hjärtan är fulla av ondska. Deras förslag leder till synd och död, och de kan säga vad som helst för att nå sina syften.
11 Gud, låt dem stå till svars för allt ont de gör, och låt deras planer falla till marken. De är upproriska mot dig!
12 Men alla de som litar på dig ska glädjas! Låt dem sjunga av glädje, för du försvarar dem! Det är du som ger dem verklig lycka,
13 för du välsignar dem som lyder dig, Herre, och du skyddar dem med din kärleks sköld!
Psalm 5
King James Version
5 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
