Psalms 5

Psalm 5^a

For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.

Listen to my words, Lord,
consider my lament.

A Prayer for Guidance

To the Chief Musician. With [a]flutes. A Psalm of David.

Give ear to my words, O Lord,
Consider my [b]meditation.

Hear my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.

Give heed to the voice of my cry,
My King and my God,
For to You I will pray.

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.

For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
with you, evil people are not welcome.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil [c]dwell with You.

The arrogant cannot stand
in your presence.
You hate all who do wrong;

The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.

you destroy those who tell lies.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
you, Lord, detest.

You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But I, by your great love,
can come into your house;
in reverence I bow down
toward your holy temple.

But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward [d]Your holy temple.

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies —
make your way straight before me.

Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.

Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;
with their tongues they tell lies.

For there is no [e]faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.

Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
for they have rebelled against you.

Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.

But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You [f]defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.

Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
