Chap. 5
1 To the chief musician upon Nehiloth; a Psalm of David.
2 Give ear unto my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation.
3 Hearken unto the voice of my cry for help, my King and my God; for unto thee will I pray.
4 O Jehovah, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice, in the morning will I set in order [my prayer] before thee and will look out [for help].
5 For thou art not a God delighting in wickedness: evil dwelleth not with thee.
6 The proud shall not stand before thine eyes: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
7 Thou wilt destroy those that speak lies: a man of blood and deceit Jehovah abhorreth.
8 But as for me, in the greatness of thy mercy I will come into thy house, I will worship towards the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.
9 Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness, on account of mine enemies, make thy way straight before me.
10 For there is nothing certain in his mouth; their inward part [is] wickedness; an opened sepulcher [is] their throat; they make smooth their tongue.
11 Treat them as guilty, O God; they shall fall from their counsels; in the multitude of their transgressions cast them down; for they have rebelled against thee.
12 But all those who trust in thee shall rejoice; forever shall they shout for joy, and thou wilt protect them, and those who love thy name shall exult in thee.
13 For thou, O Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous; like the shield with favor thou wilt encompass him.
