Psalms 5

1 To the choirmaster to the flutes a psalm of David. Words my give ear to! - O Yahweh consider! sighing my.

For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

2 Pay attention! - to [the] sound of cry for help my O king my and God my for to you I pray.

Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

3 O Yahweh morning you hear voice my morning I arrange for you so I may watch.

Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

4 For - not [are] a God desirous of wickedness - you not it sojourns with you evil.

For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

5 Not they will take their stand boasters to before eyes your you hate all [those who] do wickedness.

The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

6 You destroy [those who] speak falsehood everyone of blood and deceit he abhors - Yahweh.

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

7 And I in [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your I will enter house your I will bow down to [the] temple of holiness your in fear your.

But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

8 O Yahweh - lead me in righteousness your on account of enemies my (make straight *Q(k)*) before me way your.

Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

9 For there not in mouth his [is] a reliable [thing] inner being their [is] destruction [is] a grave open throat their tongue their they speak flattery!

Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

10 Hold guilty them - O God may they fall from own schemes their for [the] multitude of transgressions their banish them for they have rebelled against you.

God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.

11 And let them rejoice all [those who] seek refuge in you for ever let them shout for joy and you may cover over them and let them exult in you [those who] love name your.

But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

12 For you you bless [the] righteous O Yahweh like shield favor you surround him.

For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
