Psalms 5

1 Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

1Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will 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.

3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

5The foolish 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.

6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody 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.

7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and 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.

8Lead me, O Lord, 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.

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.

10Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast 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.

11But let all those that put their trust 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.

12For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
