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