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
Give ear to my words, O Lord; give heed to my sighing.
2 (5-3) Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
2
Listen to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3 (5-4) For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
3
O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.
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
For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil will not sojourn with you.
5 (5-6) Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
5
The boastful will not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers.
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 destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.
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
But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house, I will bow down toward your holy temple in awe of you.
8 (5-9) Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
8
Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me.
9 (5-10) For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
9
For there is no truth in their mouths; their hearts are destruction; their throats are open graves; they flatter with their tongues.
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
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 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 ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, so that those who love your name may exult in you.
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 righteous, O Lord; you cover them with favor as with a shield.
