Psalms 5

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BLOWN INTO THE PIPES. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear my sayings, O YHWH, || Consider my meditation. 2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, || My King and my God, || For I pray to You habitually. 3 YHWH, in the morning You hear my voice, || In the morning I set in array for You, || And I look out expectantly. 4 For You are not a God desiring wickedness, || Evil does not inhabit You. 5 The boastful do not station themselves before Your eyes: You have hated all working iniquity. 6 You destroy those speaking lies, || YHWH detests a man of blood and deceit. 7 And I, in the abundance of Your kindness, || I enter Your house, || I bow myself toward Your holy temple in Your fear. 8 O YHWH, lead me in Your righteousness, || Because of those observing me, || Make Your way straight before me, 9 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart is mischiefs, || Their throat is an open grave, || They make their tongue smooth. 10 Declare them guilty, O God, || Let them fall from their own counsels, || In the abundance of their transgressions || Drive them away, || Because they have been rebellious against You. 11 And all trusting in You rejoice, || They sing to a distant age, and You cover them over, || And those loving Your Name exult in You. 12 For You bless the righteous, O YHWH, || Surrounding him with favor as a buckler!
