Psalms 5

New Century Version NCV

1 Lord, listen to my words. Understand my sadness.

2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, because I pray to you.

3 Lord, every morning you hear my voice. Every morning, I tell you what I need, and I wait for your answer.

4 You are not a God who is pleased with the wicked; you do not live with those who do evil.

5 Those people who make fun of you cannot stand before you. You hate all those who do evil.

6 You destroy liars; the Lord hates those who kill and trick others.

7 Because of your great love, I can come into your Temple. Because I fear and respect you, I can worship in your holy Temple.

8 Lord, since I have many enemies, show me the right thing to do. Show me clearly how you want me to live.

9 My enemies' mouths do not tell the truth; in their hearts they want to destroy others. Their throats are like open graves; they use their tongues for telling lies.

10 God, declare them guilty! Let them fall into their own traps. Send them away because their sins are many; they have turned against you.

11 But let everyone who trusts you be happy; let them sing glad songs forever. Protect those who love you and who are happy because of you.

12 Lord, you bless those who do what is right; you protect them like a soldier's shield. For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Upon the sheminith. A psalm of David.

New International Version NIV

1 Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.

2 Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.

3 In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.

5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;

6 you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.

7 But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.

8 Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.

9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.

10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

12 Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
