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