Psalms 5
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Hearken to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
Give ear to my words, O YHWH, consider my (meditation)
2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to thee, O Lord, will I pray.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my Elohim: for unto thee will I pray.
3 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O YHWH; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.
For thou art not an El that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: YHWH will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.
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 my way plain before thy face.
Lead me, O YHWH, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
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 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
Destroy thou them, O Elohim; 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 that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.
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, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favour.
For thou, YHWH, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
