Psalms 5
1 To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)
TO THE OVERSEER. [BLOWN] INTO THE PIPES. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear my sayings, O YHWH, Consider my (meditation)
2 Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.
Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For I pray to You habitually.
3 Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will waite.
YHWH, [in] the morning You hear my voice, [In] the morning I set in array for You, And I look out [expectantly].
4 For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.
For You [are] not a God desiring wickedness, Evil does not inhabit You.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.
The boastful do not station themselves before Your eyes: You have hated all working iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.
You destroy those speaking lies, YHWH detests 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.
And I, in the abundance of Your kindness, I enter Your house, I bow myself toward Your holy temple in Your fear.
8 Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.
O YHWH, lead me in Your righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make Your way straight 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 stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, Their throat [is] an open grave, They make their tongue smooth.
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.
Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have been rebellious 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.
And all trusting in You rejoice, They sing for all time, and You cover them over, And those loving Your Name exult in You.
12 For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
For You bless the righteous, O YHWH, Surrounding him with favor as a buckler!
