Psalms 5

1 To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)

For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. 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 unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto 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 shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.

4 For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.

For thou art not a God that hath 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 hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth 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 lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I 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 mine 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 sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.

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 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 thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.

For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
