Psalms 5
1 “To the chief musician upon Nechiloth, a psalm of David.” To my words give ear, O Lord, have regard to my mediation.
For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)
2 Listen unto the voice of my loud cry, my King, and my God, when unto thee I pray.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
3 O Lord! in the morning do thou hear my voice: in the morning will I set in order [my prayer] before thee, and 1ook up with hope.
O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil cannot abide with thee.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 The arrogant cannot stand up before thy eyes: thou hatest all workers of wickedness.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou wilt destroy those that speak lies: the man of blood and deceit the Lord abhorreth.
Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7 But as for me—in the abundance of thy kindness will I enter thy house: I will bow myself down before thy holy temple in the fear of thee.
But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 O Lord, lead me in thy righteousness because of those that regard me enviously; make straight before me thy way.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.
9 For there is not in their mouth any sincerity; their inward part is full of deception; an open sepulchre is their throat: 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 Condemn them, O God: let them fall through their own counsels; for the multitude of their transgressions cast them down; for they have rebelled against thee.
Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.
11 Then will rejoice all those that put their trust in thee; for ever will they shout for joy, when thou protectest them: and then will exult in thee those that love thy name.
But let all those that take refuge 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 wilt bless the righteous, O Lord; as with a shield wilt thou encompass him with favor.
For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
