Psalms 5
1 Unto the end. For her who pursues the inheritance. A Psalm of David. O Lord, listen closely to my words. Understand my outcry.
For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)
2 Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
3 For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.
O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.
4 In the morning, I will stand before you, and I will see. For you are not a God who wills iniquity.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 And the malicious will not dwell close to you, nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 You hate all who work iniquity. You will destroy all who speak a lie. The bloody and deceitful man, the Lord will abominate.
Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7 But I am in the multitude of your mercy. I will enter your house. I will show adoration toward your holy temple, in your fear.
But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Lord, lead me in your justice. Because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.
Lead me, O Jehovah, 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.
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 Their throat is an open sepulcher. They have acted deceitfully with their tongues. Judge them, O God. Let them fall by their own intentions: according to the multitude of their impiety, expel them. For they have provoked you, O Lord.
Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.
11 But let all those who hope in you rejoice. They will exult in eternity, and you will dwell in them. And all those who love your name will glory in you.
But let all those that take refuge 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 you will bless the just. You have crowned us, O Lord, as if with a shield of your good will.
For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
