Psalms 5

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Listen to my words, Lord; consider my sighing.

2 Pay attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to You.

3 At daybreak, Lord, You hear my voice; at daybreak I plead my case to You and watch expectantly.

4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot lodge with You.

5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all evildoers.

6 You destroy those who tell lies; the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery.

7 But I enter Your house by the abundance of Your faithful love; I bow down toward Your holy temple in reverential awe of You.

8 Lord, lead me in Your righteousness, because of my adversaries; make Your way straight before me.

9 For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongues.

10 Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel against You.

11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them shout for joy forever. May You shelter them, and may those who love Your name boast about You.

12 For You, Lord, bless the righteous one; You surround him with favor like a shield.

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.
