Psalms 5

1 To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare my wordes, O Lord: vnderstande my (meditation)

Give ear to my words, O YHWH, consider my (meditation)

2 Hearken vnto the voyce of my crie, my King and my God: for vnto thee doe I pray.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my Elohim: for unto thee will I pray.

3 Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will waite.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O YHWH; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4 For thou art not a God that loueth wickednes: neither shall euill dwell with thee.

For thou art not an El that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speake lyes: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie man and deceitfull.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: YHWH will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7 But I wil come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercie: and in thy feare will I worship toward thine holy Temple.

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8 Leade me, O Lord, in thy righteousnes, because of mine enemies: make thy way plaine before my face.

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

9 For no constancie is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throte is an open sepulchre, and 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.

10 Destroy them, O God: let them fall from their counsels: cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they haue rebelled against thee.

Destroy thou them, O Elohim; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

11 And let all them that trust in thee, reioyce and triumph for euer, and couer thou them: and let them, that loue thy Name, reioyce in thee.

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

12 For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous, and with fauour wilt compasse him, as with a shielde.

For thou, YHWH, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
