Psalms 5
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [BLOWN] INTO THE PIPES. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear my sayings, O YHWH, Consider my (meditation)
For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For I pray to You habitually.
Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.
3 YHWH, [in] the morning You hear my voice, [In] the morning I set in array for You, And I look out [expectantly].
In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.
4 For You [are] not a God desiring wickedness, Evil does not inhabit You.
For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.
5 The boastful do not station themselves before Your eyes: You have hated all working iniquity.
Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
6 You destroy those speaking lies, YHWH detests a man of blood and deceit.
You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
7 And I, in the abundance of Your kindness, I enter Your house, I bow myself toward Your holy temple in Your fear.
But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear toward your holy temple.
8 O YHWH, lead me in Your righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make Your way straight before me,
Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before your face.
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; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
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.
Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, 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 that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell among them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.
12 For You bless the righteous, O YHWH, Surrounding him with favor as a buckler!
For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favor.
