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.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto 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.
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto 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: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.
The foolish 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 shalt 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 thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and 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 Lord, 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.
Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast 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 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 Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
