Psalms 5

Psalm 5

To the Overcomer upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.

1¶ Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my meditation.

2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for unto thee will I pray.

3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; early will I present myself unto thee and wait.

4For thou art not a God that loves wickedness; neither shall one who is evil dwell with thee.

5The foolish (those who are governed by carnal thoughts or desires) shall not stand in thy sight; thou dost hate all workers of iniquity.

6Thou shalt destroy those that speak lies: the Lord will abominate the bloody and deceitful man.

7¶ But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.

8Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

9For there is no uprightness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out for the multitude of their rebellions; for they have rebelled against thee.

11And all those that put their trust in thee shall rejoice: they shall ever be in jubilee, for thou shalt cover them; and all that love thy name shall be joyful in thee.

12For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Psalm 5

A Prayer for Protection#HEBREW TITLE: A psalm by David.

1Listen to my words, O Lord,

and hear my sighs.

2Listen to my cry for help,

my God and king!

I pray to you, O Lord;

3you hear my voice in the morning;

at sunrise I offer my prayer#5.3: prayer; or sacrifice.

and wait for your answer.

4You are not a God who is pleased with wrongdoing;

you allow no evil in your presence.

5You cannot stand the sight of the proud;

you hate all wicked people.

6You destroy all liars

and despise violent, deceitful people.

7But because of your great love

I can come into your house;

I can worship in your holy Temple

and bow down to you in reverence.

8 Lord, I have so many enemies!

Lead me to do your will;

make your way plain for me to follow.

9 # Ro 3.13 What my enemies say can never be trusted;

they only want to destroy.

Their words are flattering and smooth,

but full of deadly deceit.

10Condemn and punish them, O God;

may their own plots cause their ruin.

Drive them out of your presence

because of their many sins

and their rebellion against you.

11But all who find safety in you will rejoice;

they can always sing for joy.

Protect those who love you;

because of you they are truly happy.

12You bless those who obey you, Lord;

your love protects them like a shield.
