Psalms 5

1 Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation.

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

2 Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and myGod; for to thee will I pray.

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

3 Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

3O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

4 For thou art not aGod that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.

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

5 Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

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

6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

6Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

7 But 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.

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.

8 Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.

8Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.

9 For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, 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.

10 Bring guilt upon them, OGod; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.

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.

11 And 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.

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.

12 For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield.

12For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
