Psalms 5
1 To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)
Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)
2 Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.
Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for to thee do I pray.
3 Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will waite.
O Jehovah, in the morning thou shall hear my voice. In the morning I will direct to thee, and will keep watch.
4 For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.
For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight. Thou hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.
Thou will destroy those who speak lies. Jehovah abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7 But I wil come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercie: and in thy feare will I worship toward thine holy Temple.
But as for me, in the abundance of thy loving kindness I will come into thy house. In thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of my enemies. Make thy way straight before my face.
9 For no constancie is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throte is an open sepulchre, and they flatter with their tongue.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongue they deceive.
10 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.
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 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.
But let all those who take refuge in thee rejoice. Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defend them. Let those also who love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
For thou will bless the righteous man, O Jehovah. Thou will encompass him with favor as with a shield. (Selah)
