Psalms 5

1 For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)

To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee do I pray.

Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.

3 O LORD, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.

Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will waite.

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil shall not sojourn with thee.

For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.

5 The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the LORD abhorreth the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.

7 But as for me, in the multitude of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

But I wil come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercie: and in thy feare will I worship toward thine holy Temple.

8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way plain before my face.

Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.

9 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.

For no constancie is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throte is an open sepulchre, and they flatter with their tongue.

10 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.

Destroy them, O God: let them fall from their counsels: cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they haue rebelled against thee.

11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice, let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

And let all them that trust in thee, reioyce and triumph for euer, and couer thou them: and let them, that loue thy Name, reioyce in thee.

12 For thou wilt bless the righteous; O LORD, thou wilt compass him with favour as with a shield.

For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.
