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.
To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)
2 Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.
Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.
3 For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.
Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will waite.
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 loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.
5 And the malicious will not dwell close to you, nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.
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 shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.
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 I wil come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercie: and in thy feare will I worship toward thine holy Temple.
8 Lord, lead me in your justice. Because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.
Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
For no constancie is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throte is an open sepulchre, and 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.
Destroy them, O God: let them fall from their counsels: cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they haue 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.
And let all them that trust in thee, reioyce and triumph for euer, and couer thou them: and let them, that loue thy Name, reioyce 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 Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
