Psalm 5

Good News Translation GNT

1 Listen to my words, O Lord, and hear my sighs.

2 Listen to my cry for help, my God and king! I pray to you, O Lord;

3 you hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer and wait for your answer.

4 You are not a God who is pleased with wrongdoing; you allow no evil in your presence.

5 You cannot stand the sight of the proud; you hate all wicked people.

6 You destroy all liars and despise violent, deceitful people.

7 But because of your great love I can come into your house; I can worship in your holy Temple and bow down to you in reverence.

8 Lord, I have so many enemies! Lead me to do your will; make your way plain for me to follow.

9 What my enemies say can never be trusted; they only want to destroy. Their words are flattering and smooth, but full of deadly deceit.

10 Condemn and punish them, O God; may their own plots cause their ruin. Drive them out of your presence because of their many sins and their rebellion against you.

11 But all who find safety in you will rejoice; they can always sing for joy. Protect those who love you; because of you they are truly happy.

12 You bless those who obey you, Lord; your love protects them like a shield.

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; give heed to my groaning.

2 Hearken to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to thee do I pray.

3 O LORD, in the morning thou dost hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee, and watch.

4 For thou art not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not sojourn with thee.

5 The boastful may not stand before thy eyes; thou hatest all evildoers.

6 Thou destroyest those who speak lies; the LORD abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men.

7 But I through the abundance of thy steadfast love will enter thy house, I will worship toward thy holy temple in the fear of thee.

8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of my enemies; make thy way straight before me.

9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is destruction, their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue.

10 Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of their many transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against thee.

11 But let all who take refuge in thee rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; and do thou defend them, that those who love thy name may exult in thee.

12 For thou dost bless the righteous, O LORD; thou dost cover him with favor as with a shield.
