Psalms 5
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)
TO THE OVERSEER. [BLOWN] INTO THE PIPES. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear my sayings, O YHWH, Consider my (meditation)
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto you will I pray.
Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For I pray to You habitually.
3 My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up.
YHWH, [in] the morning You hear my voice, [In] the morning I set in array for You, And I look out [expectantly].
4 For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.
For You [are] not a God desiring wickedness, Evil does not inhabit You.
5 The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
The boastful do not station themselves before Your eyes: You have hated all working iniquity.
6 You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will detest the bloody and deceitful man.
You destroy those speaking lies, YHWH detests a man of blood and deceit.
7 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.
And I, in the abundance of Your kindness, I enter Your house, I bow myself toward Your holy temple in Your fear.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make your way straight before my face.
O YHWH, lead me in Your righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make Your way straight before me,
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open tomb; 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 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.
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 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.
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 you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favour will you compass him as with a shield.
For You bless the righteous, O YHWH, Surrounding him with favor as a buckler!
