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 LORD, consider my (meditation)
2 Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to you 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.
My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer to you, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.
For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.
The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.
You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody 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, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.
8 Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.
Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your 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; 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.
Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.
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 put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.
12 For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor will you compass him as with a shield.
