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.
Give ear to my words, O YHWH, consider my (meditation)
2 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my Elohim: for unto thee will I pray.
3 For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
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 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
For thou art not an El that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil 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: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
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 speak falsehood: YHWH will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
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 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 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
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.
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 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 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 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:
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 wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
For thou, YHWH, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
