Liber Psalmorum, 5

0.

0. To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.

1. Magistro chori. Ad tibias. PSALMUS. David.

1. Give ear to my words, O LORD; give heed to my groaning.

2. Verba mea auribus percipe, Domine; intellege gemitum meum.

2. Hearken to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to thee do I pray.

3. Intende voci clamoris mei, rex meus et Deus meus.

3. O LORD, in the morning thou dost hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee, and watch.

4. Quoniam ad te orabo, Domine, mane exaudies vocem meam; mane astabo tibi et exspectabo.

4. For thou art not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not sojourn with thee.

5. Quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es; neque habitabit iuxta te malignus,

5. The boastful may not stand before thy eyes; thou hatest all evildoers.

6. neque permanebunt iniusti ante oculos tuos.

6. Thou destroyest those who speak lies; the LORD abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men.

7. Odisti omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem, perdes omnes, qui loquuntur mendacium; virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus.

7. But I through the abundance of thy steadfast love will enter thy house, I will worship toward thy holy temple in the fear of thee.

8. Ego autem in multitudine misericordiae tuae introibo in domum tuam; adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum in timore tuo.

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

9. Domine, deduc me in iustitia tua propter inimicos meos, dirige in conspectu meo viam tuam.

9. For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is destruction, their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue.

10. Quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas, cor eorum fovea; sepulcrum patens est guttur eorum, molliunt linguas suas.

10. Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of their many transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against thee.

11. 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 thee rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; and do thou defend them, that those who love thy name may exult in thee.

12. Et omnes, qui sperant in te, laetentur, in aeternum exsultent. Obumbrabis eis, et gloriabuntur in te, qui diligunt nomen tuum;

12. For thou dost bless the righteous, O LORD; thou dost cover him with favor as with a shield.

13. quoniam tu benedices iusto, Domine, quasi scuto, bona voluntate coronabis eum.
