Psalms 5
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [BLOWN] INTO THE PIPES. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear my sayings, O YHWH, Consider my (meditation)
Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm of David. Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For I pray to You habitually.
Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
3 YHWH, [in] the morning You hear my voice, [In] the morning I set in array for You, And I look out [expectantly].
For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
4 For You [are] not a God desiring wickedness, Evil does not inhabit You.
In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5 The boastful do not station themselves before Your eyes: You have hated all working iniquity.
Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
6 You destroy those speaking lies, YHWH detests a man of blood and deceit.
Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
7 And I, in the abundance of Your kindness, I enter Your house, I bow myself toward Your holy temple in Your fear.
But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
8 O YHWH, lead me in Your righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make Your way straight before me,
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
9 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, Their throat [is] an open grave, They make their tongue smooth.
For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain.
10 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.
Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
11 And all trusting in You rejoice, They sing for all time, and You cover them over, And those loving Your Name exult in You.
But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee:
12 For You bless the righteous, O YHWH, Surrounding him with favor as a buckler!
For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
