PSALM 5
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, upon Nehiloth,
A Psalm of David.
1Give ear unto my words, O Lord,
my meditation weigh.
2Hear my loud cry, my King, my God;
for I to thee will pray.
3Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice:
I early will direct
My pray'r to thee; and, looking up,
an answer will expect.
4For thou art not a God that doth
in wickedness delight;
Neither shall evil dwell with thee,
5Nor fools stand in thy sight.
All that ill-doers are thou hat'st;
6Cutt'st off that liars be:
The bloody and deceitful man
abhorred is by thee.
7But I into thy house will come
in thine abundant grace;
And I will worship in thy fear
toward thy holy place.
8Because of those mine enemies,
Lord, in thy righteousness
Do thou me lead; do thou thy way
make straight before my face.
9For in their mouth there is no truth,
their inward part is ill;
Their throat's an open sepulchre,
their tongue doth flatter still.
10O God, destroy them; let them be
by their own counsel quell'd:
Them for their many sins cast out,
for they 'gainst thee rebell'd.
11But let all joy that trust in thee,
and still make shouting noise;
For them thou sav'st; let all that love
thy name in thee rejoice.
12For, Lord, unto the righteous man
thou wilt thy blessing yield:
With favour thou wilt compass him
about, as with a shield.

Psalms 5
5
PSALM 5
1 To the overcomer, on the heritages, the psalm of David. Lord, perceive thou my words with ears; understand thou my cry.
2My King, and my God; give thou attention to the voice of my prayer. For, Lord, I shall pray to thee;
3hear thou early my voice. Early I shall stand nigh to thee, and I shall see;
4for thou art God not desiring wickedness. Neither an evil-willed man shall dwell beside thee;
5neither unjust [or unrightwise] men shall dwell before thine eyes. Thou hatest all them that work wickedness;
6thou shalt lose them that speak leasing. The Lord shall hold abomin-able a man-queller, and a guileful man.
7But Lord, in the multitude of thy mercy, I shall enter into thine house; I shall worship toward thine holy temple in thy dread.
8Lord, lead thou forth me in thy rightwiseness for mine enemies; dress thou my way in thy sight.
9For truth is not in their mouth; their heart is vain. Their throat is an open sepulchre, they did guilefully with their tongues;
10God, deem thou them. Fall they down from their thoughts; after the multitude of their wickednesses, or un-piousnesses, cast thou them down; for, Lord, they have stirred thee to wrath.
11And all that hope in thee, be they glad; they shall make full out joy [into] without end, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all that love thy name shall have glory in thee;
12for thou shalt bless the just [or right-wise] man. Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
