Psalm 5

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. On wind instruments. A psalm of David: Give ear to my words, ADONAI, consider my inmost thoughts.

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

3 ADONAI, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I lay my needs before you and wait expectantly.

4 For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; evil cannot remain with you.

5 Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes, you hate all who do evil,

6 you destroy those who tell lies, ADONAI detests men of blood and deceivers.

7 But I can enter your house because of your great grace and love; I will bow down toward your holy temple in reverence for you.

8 Lead me, ADONAI, in your righteousness because of those lying in wait for me; make your way straight before me.

9 For in their mouths there is nothing sincere, within them are calamities, their throats are open tombs, they flatter with their tongues.

10 God, declare them guilty! Let them fall through their own intrigues, For their many crimes, throw them down; since they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice, let them forever shout for joy! Shelter them; and they will be glad, those who love your name.

12 For you, ADONAI, bless the righteous; you surround them with favor like a shield.

New Living Translation NLT

1 O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning.

2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you.

3 Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD . Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.

4 O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.

5 Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil.

6 You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers.

7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.

8 Lead me in the right path, O LORD, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.

9 My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery.

10 O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.

12 For you bless the godly, O LORD ; you surround them with your shield of love.
