PSALM 5
To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation. 2Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God#GodHebrew: Elohim for to thee will I pray. 3Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up. 4For thou art not a ·God#GodHebrew: El that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee. 5Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.
7But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear. 8Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me. 9For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 10Bring guilt upon them, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee. 11And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee. 12For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous man; with favour wilt thou surround him as with a shield.

Psalm 5
5
Lead Me in Your Righteousness
To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O Lord;
consider my #[Ps. 39:3]groaning.
2Give attention to the sound of my cry,
my #Ps. 84:3 King and my God,
for #Ps. 65:2to you do I pray.
3O Lord, in #Ps. 88:13; 119:147; 130:6 the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you#5:3 Or I direct my prayer to you and #[Hab. 2:1]watch.
4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not dwell with you.
5The #Ps. 73:3; 75:4; [Hab. 1:13] boastful shall not #See Ps. 1:5 stand before your eyes;
you #Ps. 11:5hate all evildoers.
6You destroy those who speak #[Ps. 4:2]; Rev. 21:8; 22:15 lies;
the Lord abhors #Ps. 55:23the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house.
I will #Ps. 132:7 bow down #1 Kgs. 8:29, 30 toward your #Ps. 11:4; 79:1holy temple
in the fear of you.
8 # [Ps. 23:3; 25:4, 5] Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
# [Ezra 8:21] make your way straight before me.
9For there is no truth in their mouth;
their inmost self is #Ps. 52:2 destruction;
# Cited Rom. 3:13 their throat is #Jer. 5:16 an open grave;
they #Ps. 12:2; Prov. 2:16; 7:5flatter with their tongue.
10 # [Isa. 24:6] Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them #[2 Sam. 15:31; 17:14, 23]fall by their own counsels;
because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
11But let all who #Ps. 2:12 take refuge in you #Ps. 33:21 rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may #[Ps. 9:2; 1 Sam. 2:1]exult in you.
12For you #Ps. 115:13 bless the righteous, O Lord;
you #[Ps. 103:4] cover him with favor as with #[Ps. 35:2]a shield.
