Psalms 5

To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.

1Give earH238 to my wordsH561, O LORDH3068, considerH995 my meditationH1901. 2HearkenH7181 to the voiceH6963 of my cryH7773, my KingH4428, and my GodH430: for to thee will I prayH6419. 3My voiceH6963 shalt thou hearH8085 in the morningH1242, O LORDH3068; in the morningH1242 will I directH6186 my prayer to thee, and will look upH6822. 4For thou art not a GodH410 that hath pleasureH2655 in wickednessH7562: neither shall evilH7451 dwellH1481 with thee. 5The foolishH1984 shall not standH3320 in thy sightH5869: thou hatestH8130 all workersH6466 of iniquityH205.1 6Thou shalt destroyH6 them that speakH1696 falsehoodH3577: the LORDH3068 will abhorH8581 the bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 manH376.2

7But as for me, I will comeH935into thy houseH1004 in the multitudeH7230 of thy mercyH2617: and in thy fearH3374 will I worshipH7812 toward thy holyH6944 templeH1964.3 8LeadH5148 me, O LORDH3068, in thy righteousnessH6666 because of my enemiesH8324; make thy wayH1870 straightH3474 before my faceH6440.4 9For there is no faithfulnessH3559 in their mouthH6310; their inwardH7130 part is very wickednessH1942; their throatH1627 is an openH6605 sepulchreH6913; they flatterH2505 with their tongueH3956.567 10DestroyH816 thou them, O GodH430; let them fallH5307 by their own counselsH4156; cast them outH5080 in the multitudeH7230 of their transgressionsH6588; for they have rebelledH4784 against thee.89 11But let all those that put their trustH2620 in thee rejoiceH8055: let them everH5769 shout for joyH7442, because thou defendestH5526 them: let them also that loveH157 thy nameH8034 be joyfulH5970 in thee.10 12For thou, LORDH3068, wilt blessH1288 the righteousH6662; with favourH7522 wilt thou surroundH5849 him as with a shieldH6793.11
