| Psa. 5:1 |
To my words give ear, O Jehovah; / Consider my moaning. |
| Psa. 5:2 |
Give heed to the sound of my cry, / My King and my God; / For to You do I pray. |
| Psa. 5:3 |
O Jehovah, in the morning / You will hear my voice; / In the morning I will set forth [my words] in order to You, / And I will watch. |
| Psa. 5:4 |
For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; / Evil will not sojourn with You. |
| Psa. 5:5 |
Those who boast will not stand / Before Your eyes; / You hate all workers of iniquity. |
| Psa. 5:6 |
You will destroy those who speak lies. / Jehovah abhors a man of bloodshed and deceit. |
| Psa. 5:7 |
But as for me, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness / I will come into Your house; / I will bow down toward Your holy temple / In fear of You. |
| Psa. 5:8 |
O Jehovah, lead me in Your righteousness / On account of those who lie in wait for me; / Make Your way straight before me. |
| Psa. 5:9 |
For there is no truth in their mouth; / Their inward part is corruption itself; / Their throat is an open grave; / They flatter with their tongue. |
| Psa. 5:10 |
Hold them guilty, O God; / Let them fall by their own counsels; / Because of the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, / For they have rebelled against You. |
| Psa. 5:11 |
But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; / Let them shout for joy forever; / And may You spread a cover over them; / And those who love Your name / Will exult in You. |
| Psa. 5:12 |
For You will bless the righteous man, O Jehovah; / You will surround him with favor as with a shield. |
