Psalms 5

PSALM 5

The LORD is a Shield for the Just

To the director; for the one inheriting; a psalm to David.

1 [²my words ¹Give ear to], O lord! Take notice of my cry! 2 Take heed to the voice of my supplication, O my king and my God! for to you I shall pray, O lord. 3 In the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I shall stand beside you, and he shall watch me. 4 For [³not ⁴a God ⁵wanting ⁶lawlessness ¹you ²are], nor shall [²sojourn ³with you ¹the one being wicked]; 5 nor shall [²abide ¹lawbreakers] in front of your eyes. You detested all the ones working lawlessness. 6 You shall destroy all the ones speaking the lie. A man of blood and deceitful the lord abhors. 7 But I, in the multitude of your mercy shall enter into your house. I shall do obeisance towards [²temple ¹your holy] in the fear of you. 8 O lord, guide me in your righteousness, because of my enemies! Straighten out [²before ³you ¹my way]! 9 For there is no [²in ³their mouth ¹truth]; their heart is vain; [²is a tomb ³having been opened ¹their throat]; with their tongues they used deceit. 10 Judge them, O God! let them fall away from their deliberations! According to the multitude of their impieties banish them! For they rebelled against you, O lord. 11 And may [⁵be glad ¹all ²hoping ³upon ⁴you]. [²into ³the eon ¹They shall exult], and you shall encamp with them; and [⁴shall boast ⁵in ⁶you ¹the ones ²loving ³your name]. 12 For you shall bless the just, O lord. As a shield of benevolence you crowned us.
