< Psalms 5 >

1 To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)
To the chief Musician. Upon 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 crying, my king and my God; for to thee will 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.
Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.
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.
Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; 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 a man of blood and deceit.
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 greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.
8 Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.
Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.
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 certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, 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.
Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive 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.
And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.
12 For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield.
