PSALM 5
To the Chief. Musician upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David
1 My words do thou give ear to, O Jehovah! Attend to my speech.
2 Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King and my God! For to thee will I pray.
3 O Jehovah! in the morning do thou hear my voice; In the morning will I direct to thee and will watch.
4 For not a God taking pleasure in wickedness art thou; There shall not dwell with thee evil.
5 There shall not stand the foolish before thine eyes; Thou hatest all that commit iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: The man of bloods and the deceitful man abominate shall Jehovah.
7 And I, in the multitude of thy mercy, will enter into thy house; I will worship in thy holy temple in thy fear.
8 O Jehovah! lead me in thy righteousness, because of my adversaries; Make straight before my face thy way.
9 For there is not in their mouth uprightness; Their inward part is deep depravity; A sepulcher that is open is their throat; With their tongues they deal deceitfully.
10 Cause them to err, O God! Let them fall from their counsels; In the multitude of their transgressions destroy them; For they have rebelled against thee.
11 And rejoice let all those who trust in thee, For ever let them exult; and cover thou them, And let those delight in thee that love thy name.
12 For thou shalt bless the righteous, O Jehovah! With thy good will as with a shield thou shalt encompass them.
