Psalms 5
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Hearken to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
TO THE OVERSEER. [BLOWN] INTO THE PIPES. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear my sayings, 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.
Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For I pray to You habitually.
3 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.
YHWH, [in] the morning You hear my voice, [In] the morning I set in array for You, And I look out [expectantly].
4 For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.
For You [are] not a God desiring wickedness, Evil does not inhabit You.
5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
The boastful do not station themselves before Your eyes: You have hated all working iniquity.
6 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
You destroy those speaking lies, YHWH detests a man of blood and deceit.
7 But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.
And I, in the abundance of Your kindness, I enter Your house, I bow myself toward Your holy temple in Your fear.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before thy face.
O YHWH, lead me in Your righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make Your way straight before me,
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 stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, Their throat [is] an open grave, They make their tongue smooth.
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.
Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have been rebellious against You.
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.
And all trusting in You rejoice, They sing for all time, and You cover them over, And those loving Your Name exult in You.
12 For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favour.
For You bless the righteous, O YHWH, Surrounding him with favor as a buckler!
