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