Psalm 5
The Refuge of the Righteous
For the choir director: with the flutes. A psalm of David.
1Listen to my words, Lord;
consider my sighing.#Ps 38:9
2Pay attention to the sound of my cry,#Ps 28:2
my King and my God,#Ps 84:3
for I pray to you.
3In the morning,#Ps 88:13 Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you#Jb 13:18; 23:4; Ps 50:21 and watch expectantly.
4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil cannot dwell with you.#Ps 92:15
5The boastful cannot stand in your sight;#Ps 1:5; 73:3; 75:4
you hate all evildoers.#Jb 8:20; Ps 11:5; 45:7
6You destroy those who tell lies;#Rv 21:8
the Lord abhors violent and treacherous people.#Ps 55:23
7But I enter your house
by the abundance of your faithful love;#Ps 69:13; 86:5,15; 106:45; Is 63:7
I bow down toward your holy temple
in reverential awe of you.#Ps 138:2
8 Lord, lead me in your righteousness#Ps 27:11
because of my adversaries;
make your way straight before me.#Pr 4:11
9For there is nothing reliable in what they say;#Ps 52:2
destruction is within them;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongues.#Ps 12:3; Pr 26:28; Rm 3:13
10Punish them, God;
let them fall by their own schemes.#Ps 9:16; 35:8; 141:10
Drive them out#Mt 13:41–42 because of their many crimes,
for they rebel against you.#Pr 17:11
11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;#Ps 2:12; 64:10
let them shout for joy forever.
May you shelter them,#Ps 31:20; 61:4
and may those who love your name boast about you.#Ps 9:2
12For you, Lord, bless the righteous one;
you surround him with favor like a shield.#Gn 15:1; Dt 33:29; Ps 3:3; 18:2; 28:7; 119:114

Psalms 5
5
For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.
1Give ear to my words, Yahweh.
Consider my meditation.
2Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God,
for I pray to you.
3Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice.
In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
4For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness.
Evil can’t live with you.
5The arrogant will not stand in your sight.
You hate all workers of iniquity.
6You will destroy those who speak lies.
Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house.
I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies.
Make your way straight before my face.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth.
Their heart is destruction.
Their throat is an open tomb.
They flatter with their tongue.
10Hold them guilty, God.
Let them fall by their own counsels.
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
for they have rebelled against you.
11But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice.
Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them.
Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
12For you will bless the righteous.
Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
