Psalms 5

Give ear to my words, LORD. Consider my meditation.

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

Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.

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

LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

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

For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.

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

The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

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

You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

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

But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

But 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.

Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

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

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.

Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

Hold 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.

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

But 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.

For you will bless the righteous. LORD, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.

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