Psalm 5

LXX

NIV

1 Hearken to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
1 Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.
2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to thee, O Lord, will I pray.
2 Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.
3 In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
4 For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.
5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
6 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
6 you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.
7 But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.
7 But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before thy face.
8 Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
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 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
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 that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.
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 For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favour.
12 Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
