Psalms 5

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.

Psalm 5^a

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

Listen to my words, Lord,
consider my lament.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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