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. |
