Capítulo 5

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.

12 - For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
