Tehillim 5
5
(For the one directing. For the flutes. Mizmor Dovid)
1Give ear to my words, Hashem, consider my meditation.
2 Pay heed unto the voice of my cry, Malki v'Elohai; for unto Thee will I daven.
3 My voice shalt Thou hear in the boker, Hashem; in the boker will I bring my prayer before Thee as a spiritual sacrifice and wait for an answer.
4 For Thou art not El that hath pleasure in resha; neither shall rah dwell with Thee.
5 The holelim (arrogant) shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak kazav (falsehood); Hashem will abhor the ish damim u'mirmah (bloody and deceitful man).
7 But as for me, I will come into Thy Bais in the multitude of Thy chesed; and in Thy fear will I bow down toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh.
8 Lead me, Hashem, in Thy tzedakah because of mine enemies; make Thy Derech straight before my face.
9 For there is nothing trustworthy in their mouth; their inwardness is a corruptible abyss; their throat is an open kever; they speak smooth deceit with their leshon.
10 Punish them, Elohim; let them fall by their own intrigues; in the multitude of their peysha'im cast them out; for they have rebelled against Thee.
11 But let all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice; let them shout for joy l'olam, and spread Thou protection over them that they be joyful in Thee, who love Shemecha (Thy Name).
12 For Thou, Hashem, wilt bless the Tzaddik; with ratzon (favor) wilt Thou encompass him as with a tzinnah (large rectangular shield).

Psalm 5
5
A Prayer for Protection
To the chief Musician upon Ne´hiloth, A Psalm of David.
1Give 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;
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee,
and will look up.
4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight:
thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing:
the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:
and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.
9 #
Rom 3.13. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
their inward part is very wickedness;
their throat is an open sepulchre;
they flatter with their tongue.
10Destroy thou them, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
for they have rebelled against thee.
11But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice:
let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:
let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous;
with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
