< Psalms 5 >
1 Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm of David. Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)
2 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O 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 thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt 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 thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.
5 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.
6 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.
7 But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy 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 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy 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 sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, 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 them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee:
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 thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
