Psalms 5

1 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray! Pay attention to me when I am groaning [because I am suffering very much].

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

2 You are my King and my God. When I call to you to ask you to help me, listen to me, because you are the one to whom I pray.

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

3 Listen to me when I pray to you [each] morning, and I wait for you to reply.

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

4 You are not a god who is pleased with wicked people; you do not (associate with/invite into your house) [those who do what is] evil.

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

5 You do not allow those who are very proud to come to you to worship you. You hate all those who do evil things.

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

6 You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder [others] and those who deceive [others].

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

7 Yahweh, because you love me so much and so faithfully, I come into your temple. I revere you greatly, and I bow down to worship you at your sacred temple.

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.

8 Yahweh, because you act righteously toward me, show me what is right for me to do. Because I have many enemies, show me clearly what you want me to do.

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

9 My enemies never say what is true; they just want to destroy [others]. The things that they say [MTY] are [as foul as] an open grave [where a corpse is decaying]. They use their tongues to tell lies.

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!

10 O God, declare that they are guilty [MTY] [and punish them]. Cause them to experience the same disasters/troubles that they plan to cause to happen to others. Get rid of them because they have committed many sins, and they have rebelled against you.

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.

11 But cause that all those who go to you to be protected will rejoice; cause them to sing joyfully to you forever. Protect those who love you [MTY]; they are truly happy because (of what you [do for them/they belong to] you).

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.

12 Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them like a [soldier is protected by his] shield [SIM].

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