Psalms 5

Psalm 5
For the choir director; for flutes; a psalm by David.
1Open your ears to my words, O Lord.
Consider my innermost thoughts.
2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God,
because I pray only to you.
3In the morning, O Lord, hear my voice.
In the morning I lay my needs in front of you,
and I wait.
4You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness.
Evil will never be your guest.
5Those who brag cannot stand in your sight.
You hate all troublemakers.
6You destroy those who tell lies.
The Lord is disgusted with bloodthirsty and deceitful people.
7But I will enter your house because of your great mercy.
Out of reverence for you, I will bow toward your holy temple.
8O Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of those who spy on me.
Make your way in front of me smooth.
9Nothing in their mouths is truthful.
Destruction comes from their hearts.
Their throats are open graves.
They flatter with their tongues.
10Condemn them, O God.
Let their own schemes be their downfall.
Throw them out for their many crimes
because they have rebelled against you.
11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice.
Let them sing with joy forever.
Protect them, and let those who love your name triumph in you.
12You bless righteous people, O Lord.
Like a large shield, you surround them with your favor.

Psalms 5
5
For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O Jehovah,
Consider my meditation.
2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God;
For unto thee do I pray.
3O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice;
In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.
4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight:
Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies:
Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house:
In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
Make thy way straight before my face.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is very wickedness;
Their throat is an open sepulchre;
They flatter with their tongue.
10Hold them guilty, O God;
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
For they have rebelled against thee.
11But let all those that take refuge 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 wilt bless the righteous;
O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
