< Psalms 5 >

1 For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אֶֽל־הַנְּחִילֹ֗ות מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ אֲמָרַ֖י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה ׀ יְהוָ֗ה בִּ֣ינָה הֲגִֽיגִי׃
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do I pray.
הַקְשִׁ֤יבָה ׀ לְקֹ֬ול שַׁוְעִ֗י מַלְכִּ֥י וֵאלֹהָ֑י כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ אֶתְפַּלָּֽל׃
3 O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.
יְֽהוָ֗ה בֹּ֖קֶר תִּשְׁמַ֣ע קֹולִ֑י בֹּ֥קֶר אֶֽעֱרָךְ־לְ֝ךָ֗ וַאֲצַפֶּֽה׃
4 For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with Thee.
כִּ֤י ׀ לֹ֤א אֵֽל־חָפֵ֘ץ רֶ֥שַׁע ׀ אָ֑תָּה לֹ֖א יְגֻרְךָ֣ רָֽע׃
5 The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
לֹֽא־יִתְיַצְּב֣וּ הֹֽ֭ולְלִים לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינֶ֑יךָ שָׂ֝נֵ֗אתָ כָּל־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
6 Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; the LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.
תְּאַבֵּד֮ דֹּבְרֵ֪י כָ֫זָ֥ב אִישׁ־דָּמִ֥ים וּמִרְמָ֗ה יְתָ֘עֵ֥ב ׀ יְהוָֽה׃
7 But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.
וַאֲנִ֗י בְּרֹ֣ב חַ֭סְדְּךָ אָבֹ֣וא בֵיתֶ֑ךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֥ה אֶל־הֽ͏ֵיכַל־קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָ׃
8 O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my face.
יְהוָ֤ה ׀ נְחֵ֬נִי בְצִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ לְמַ֥עַן שֹׁורְרָ֑י הֹושַׁר (הַיְשַׁ֖ר) לְפָנַ֣י דַּרְכֶּֽךָ׃
9 For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their inward part is a yawning gulf, their throat is an open sepulchre; they make smooth their tongue.
כִּ֤י אֵ֪ין בְּפִ֡יהוּ נְכֹונָה֮ קִרְבָּ֪ם הַ֫וֹּ֥ות קֶֽבֶר־פָּת֥וּחַ גְּרֹונָ֑ם לְ֝שֹׁונָ֗ם יַחֲלִֽיקוּן׃
10 Hold them guilty, O God, let them fall by their own counsels; cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against Thee.
הַֽאֲשִׁימֵ֨ם ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים יִפְּלוּ֮ מִֽמֹּעֲצֹ֪ותֵ֫יהֶ֥ם בְּרֹ֣ב פִּ֭שְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵ֑מֹו כִּי־מָ֥רוּ בָֽךְ׃
11 So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, they shall ever shout for joy, and Thou shalt shelter them; let them also that love Thy name exult in Thee.
וְיִשְׂמְח֨וּ כָל־חֹ֪וסֵי בָ֡ךְ לְעֹולָ֣ם יְ֭רַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵ֣ךְ עָלֵ֑ימֹו וְֽיַעְלְצ֥וּ בְ֝ךָ֗ אֹהֲבֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃
12 For Thou dost bless the righteous; O LORD, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.
כִּֽי־אַתָּה֮ תְּבָרֵ֪ךְ צַ֫דִּ֥יק יְהוָ֑ה כַּ֝צִּנָּ֗ה רָצֹ֥ון תַּעְטְרֶֽנּוּ׃
