Psalms 5
For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David.
1Give earH238 to my wordsH561, O LORDH3068;considerH995 my groaningH1901.2Attend toH7181 the soundH6963 of my cryH7773,my KingH4428 and my GodH430,forH3588 to YouH413 I prayH6419.
3In the morningH1242, O LORDH3068, You hearH8085 my voiceH6963;at daybreakH1242 I layH6186 my plea before Youand wait in expectationH6822.
4ForH3588 YouH859 are notH3808 a GodH410 who delightsH2655 in wickednessH7562;noH3808 evilH7451 can dwell with YouH1481.5The boastfulH1984H5048 cannotH3808 standH3320 in Your presenceH5869;You hateH8130 allH3605 workersH6466 of iniquityH205.6You destroyH6 those who tellH1696 liesH3577;the LORDH3068 abhorsH8581 the manH376 of bloodshedH1818 and deceitH4820.
7But IH589 will enterH935 Your houseH1004by the abundanceH7230 of Your loving devotionH2617;1in reverenceH3374 I will bow downH7812towardH413 Your holyH6944 templeH1964.
8Lead meH5148, O LORDH3068, in Your righteousnessH6666because ofH4616 my enemiesH8324;make straightH3474 Your wayH1870 before meH6440.9ForH3588 not a wordH369 they speakH6310 can be trustedH3559;destructionH1942 lies within themH7130.Their throatsH1627 are openH6605 gravesH6913;their tonguesH3956 practice deceitH2505.2
10Declare them guiltyH816, O GodH430;let them fallH5307 by their own devicesH4156.Drive them outH5080 for their manyH7230 transgressionsH6588,forH3588 they have rebelledH4784 against You.
11But let allH3605 who take refugeH2620 in You rejoiceH8055;let them ever shout for joyH7442H5769.May You shelterH5526 themH5921,that those who loveH157 Your nameH8034 may rejoiceH5970 in You.12For surelyH3588 YouH859, O LORDH3068, blessH1288 the righteousH6662;You surround themH5849 with the shieldH6793 of Your favorH7522.
