Psalms 5

¹To the Chief Musician; on wind instruments. A Psalm of David. Listen to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning and sighing.

²Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.

³In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].

⁴For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil [person] dwells with You.

⁵The boastful and the arrogant will not stand in Your sight; You hate all who do evil.

⁶You destroy those who tell lies; The LORD detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

⁷But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy; At Your holy temple I will bow [obediently] in reverence for You.

⁸O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight (direct, right) before me.

⁹For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say; Their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies]. Their throat is an open grave; They [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue.

¹⁰Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own designs and councils! Cast them out because of the abundance of their transgressions, For they are mutinous and have rebelled against You.

¹¹But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice, Let them ever sing for joy; Because You cover and shelter them, Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.

¹²For You, O LORD, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You]; You surround him with favor as with a shield.
