Psalms 5:1-11 in English

¹ For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

² Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

³ O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

⁴ For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

⁵ The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

⁶ Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

⁷ But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

⁸ Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.

⁹ For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.

¹⁰ Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

¹¹ But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

⁸ Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

⁷ But as for me, because of your great covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house; in reverence I will bow down toward your holy temple.

⁸ Oh Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your path straight before me.

⁹ For there is no truth in their mouth; their inward being is wicked; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue.

¹⁰ Declare them guilty, God; may their schemes be their downfall! Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

¹¹ But may all those who take refuge in you rejoice; let them always shout for joy because you defend them; let them be joyful in you, those who love your name.

¹¹ But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

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

¹⁰ Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

¹¹ But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

¹ To the overcomer, on the heritages, the psalm of David. Lord, perceive thou my words with ears; understand thou my cry.

² My King, and my God; give thou attention to the voice of my prayer. For, Lord, I shall pray to thee;

³ hear thou early my voice. Early I shall stand nigh to thee, and I shall see;

⁴ for thou art God not desiring wickedness. Neither an evil-willed man shall dwell beside thee;

⁵ neither unjust or unrightwise men shall dwell before thine eyes. Thou hatest all them that work wickedness;

⁶ thou shalt lose them that speak leasing. The Lord shall hold abomin-able a man-queller, and a guileful man.

⁷ But Lord, in the multitude of thy mercy, I shall enter into thine house; I shall worship toward thine holy temple in thy dread.

⁸ Lord, lead thou forth me in thy rightwiseness for mine enemies; dress thou my way in thy sight.

⁹ For truth is not in their mouth; their heart is vain. Their throat is an open sepulchre, they did guilefully with their tongues;

¹⁰ God, deem thou them. Fall they down from their thoughts; after the multitude of their wickednesses, or un-piousnesses, cast thou them down; for, Lord, they have stirred thee to wrath.

¹¹ And all that hope in thee, be they glad; they shall make full out joy into without end, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all that love thy name shall have glory in thee;

¹ To the overcomer, on the heritages, the psalm of David. Lord, perceive thou my words with ears; understand thou my cry. (For the choirmaster, with flutes, a song by David. Lord, hear thou my words; understand my cry.)

² My king (or My King), and my God; give thou attention to the voice of my prayer. For, Lord, I shall pray to thee;

³ hear thou early my voice. Early I shall stand nigh to thee, and I shall see; (hear thou my voice in the morning. Early in the morning I shall stand near to thee, and I shall see thee;)

⁴ for thou art God not desiring wickedness. Neither an evil-willed man shall dwell beside thee; (for thou art not a God who desireth wickedness. No one with an evil will shall stand beside thee;)

⁵ neither unjust men shall dwell before thine eyes. Thou hatest all them that work wickedness; (nor shall the unrighteous stand before thine eyes. Thou hatest all those who do evil;)

⁶ thou shalt lose them that speak leasing. The Lord shall hold abominable a man-queller, and a guileful man. (thou shalt destroy those who tell lies. And the Lord shall hold as abominable man-killers, that is, murderers, and liars.)

⁷ But Lord, in the multitude of thy mercy, I shall enter into thine house; I shall worship to(ward) thine holy temple in thy dread. (But Lord, because of thy great love, I shall enter into thy House; I shall bow toward thy holy Temple in reverence for thee.)

⁸ Lord, lead thou forth me in thy rightwiseness for mine enemies; (ad)dress thou my way in thy sight. (Lord, lead thou me forth in thy righteousness, because my enemies be all around me; direct thou my way before thee or direct thou me along thy way.)

⁹ For truth is not in their mouth; their heart is vain. Their throat is an open sepulchre, they did guilefully with their tongues; (For truth is not in their mouths; their hearts be empty. Their throats be an open tomb, or an open grave, and everything they say is deceitful, or corrupt;)

¹⁰ God, deem thou them. Fall they down from their thoughts; after the multitude of their wickednesses, or unpiousnesses, cast thou them down; for, Lord, they have stirred thee to wrath. (God, judge thou them. Let them fall by their own thoughts; throw thou them down after all their wickednesses; for, Lord, they have rebelled against thee.)

¹¹ And all that hope in thee, be they glad; they shall make full out joy into without end, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all that love thy name shall have glory in thee; (But all who hope in thee, be they glad; they shall rejoice forever, and thou shalt live with them. And all who love thy name shall have glory in thee;)

¹ To the Overseer, 'Concerning the Inheritances.' — A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

² Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

³ Jehovah, at morning Thou hearest my voice, At morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

⁴ For not a God desiring wickedness art Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

⁵ The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

⁶ Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

⁷ And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.

⁸ O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

⁹ For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart is mischiefs, An open grave is their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

¹⁰ Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

¹¹ And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.
