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.

1Give ear to my words, O Lord;
consider my meditation.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 Listen to the voice of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to You will I pray.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 O Lord, in the morning You will hear my voice;
in the morning I will direct my prayer to You,
and I will watch expectantly.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 For You are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness,
nor will evil dwell with You.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Those who boast will not stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 You will destroy those who speak lies;
the Lord abhors
the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

I will enter Your house;
in fear of You I will worship
at Your holy temple.

because of my enemies;
make Your way straight before me.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 For there is no uprightness in their mouth;
destruction is in their midst;
their throat is an open tomb;
they flatter with their tongue.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Declare them guilty, O God;
may they fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
for they have rebelled against You.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 But may all those who seek refuge in You rejoice;
may they ever shout for joy,
because You defend them;
may those who love Your name be joyful in You.
12For You, Lord, will bless the righteous;
You surround him with favor like a shield.
