5:1 {To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.} Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation. 5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray. 5:3 Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up. 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee. 5:5 Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 5:6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit. 5:7 But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear. 5:8 Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me. 5:9 For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 5:10 Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee. 5:11 And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee. 5:12 For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield. 5:13 {To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments, upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.} Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, and chasten me not in thy hot displeasure.
