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 Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, LORD. Consider my (meditation)

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

Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.

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

LORD, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and watch.

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

For you are not a God who desires wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

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

The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all evildoers.

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

You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD despises a person of bloodshed and deceit.

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 as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will enter into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

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

Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before 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!

For there is nothing reliable in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they flatter.

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.

Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out because of the multitude of their transgressions, 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 let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. And let those who love your name be joyful in you.

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

For you bless the righteous, LORD. You surround him with favor like a shield.
