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.

Tehillim (Psa) 5
5
1For the leader. On wind instruments. A psalm of David:
2Give ear to my words, Adonai,
consider my inmost thoughts.
3Listen to my cry for help,
my king and my God, for I pray to you.
4Adonai, in the morning you will hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my needs before you
and wait expectantly.
5For you are not a God
who takes pleasure in wickedness;
evil cannot remain with you.
6Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes,
you hate all who do evil,
7you destroy those who tell lies,
Adonai detests men of blood and deceivers.
8But I can enter your house
because of your great grace and love;
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in reverence for you.
9Lead me, Adonai, in your righteousness
because of those lying in wait for me;
make your way straight before me.
10For in their mouths there is nothing sincere,
within them are calamities,
their throats are open tombs,
they flatter with their tongues.
11God, declare them guilty!
Let them fall through their own intrigues,
For their many crimes, throw them down;
since they have rebelled against you.
12But let all who take refuge in you rejoice,
let them forever shout for joy!
Shelter them; and they will be glad,
those who love your name.
13For you, Adonai, bless the righteous;
you surround them with favor like a shield.
