New Living Translation NLT
1 <Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm for David.> (5-2) Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
1
O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning.
2 (5-3) Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
2
Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you.
3 (5-4) For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
3
Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD . Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
4 (5-5) In the morning I will stand before thee, and I will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
4
O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.
5 (5-6) Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
5
Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil.
6 (5-7) Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
6
You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers.
7 (5-8) But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
7
Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.
8 (5-9) Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
8
Lead me in the right path, O LORD, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.
9 (5-10) For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
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 (5-11) Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
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 (5-12) But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee.
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 (5-13) For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
12
For you bless the godly, O LORD ; you surround them with your shield of love.
