5:1  Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning.

5:2  Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.

5:3  In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order {my} {prayer} to You and {eagerly} watch.

5:4  For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You.

5:5  The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity.

5:6  You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

5:7  But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.

5:8  O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me.

5:9  There is nothing reliable in what they say; Their inward part is destruction {itself.} Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.

5:10  Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You.

5:11  But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You.

5:12  For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield.
