Psalms 5
1 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray! Pay attention to me when I am groaning [because I am suffering very much].
| למנצח אל-הנחילות מזמור לדוד ב אמרי האזינה יהוה בינה הגיגי |
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.
| הקשיבה לקול שועי--מלכי ואלהי כי-אליך אתפלל |
3 Listen to me when I pray to you [each] morning, and I wait for you to reply.
| יהוה--בקר תשמע קולי בקר אערך-לך ואצפה |
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.
| כי לא אל חפץ רשע אתה לא יגרך רע |
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.
| לא-יתיצבו הוללים לנגד עיניך שנאת כל-פעלי און |
6 You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder [others] and those who deceive [others].
| תאבד דברי כזב איש-דמים ומרמה יתעב יהוה |
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.
| ואני--ברב חסדך אבוא ביתך אשתחוה אל-היכל-קדשך ביראתך |
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.
| יהוה נחני בצדקתך--למען שוררי הושר (הישר) לפני דרכך |
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.
| כי אין בפיהו נכונה--קרבם הוות קבר-פתוח גרנם לשונם יחליקון |
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.
| האשימם אלהים-- יפלו ממעצותיהם ברב פשעיהם הדיחמו-- כי-מרו בך |
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).
| וישמחו כל-חוסי בך לעולם ירננו-- ותסך עלימו ויעלצו בך אהבי שמך |
12 Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them like a [soldier is protected by his] shield [SIM].
| כי-אתה תברך צדיק יהוה--כצנה רצון תעטרנו |
