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.

PSALM 5
To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation. 2Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God#GodHebrew: Elohim for to thee will I pray. 3Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up. 4For thou art not a ·God#GodHebrew: El that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee. 5Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.
7But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear. 8Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me. 9For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 10Bring guilt upon them, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee. 11And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee. 12For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous man; with favour wilt thou surround him as with a shield.
