< Psalms 5 >
1 To the choirmaster to the flutes a psalm of David. Words my give ear to! - O Yahweh consider! sighing my.
To the Chief Musician. For the Flutes. A Melody of David. To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:
2 Pay attention! - to [the] sound of cry for help my O king my and God my for to you I pray.
Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, do I pray.
3 O Yahweh morning you hear voice my morning I arrange for you so I may watch.
O Yahweh! in the morning, shalt thou hear my voice, In the morning, will I set in order unto thee, and keep watch;
4 For - not [are] a God desirous of wickedness - you not it sojourns with you evil.
For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:
5 Not they will take their stand boasters to before eyes your you hate all [those who] do wickedness.
Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes, —Thou hatest all workers of iniquity:
6 You destroy [those who] speak falsehood everyone of blood and deceit he abhors - Yahweh.
Thou wilt destroy them who speak falsehood, —The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh abhorreth.
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, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:
8 O Yahweh - lead me in righteousness your on account of enemies my (make straight *Q(k)*) before me way your.
O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:
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 in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin, —An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.
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.
Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels, —Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee: —
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.
That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.
12 For you you bless [the] righteous O Yahweh like shield favor you surround him.
For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shield—with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.
