Psa.|5:Title|-|To the choir director: for the wind instruments. A |a|Psalm of David
Psa.|5:1|-|To my words give ear, O Jehovah;Consider my moaning.
Psa.|5:2|-|Give heed to the sound of my cry,My |a|King and my God;
For to You do I pray.
Psa.|5:3|-|O Jehovah, in the morningYou will hear my voice;
In the morning I will set forth my words in order to You,And I will watch.
Psa.|5:4|-||1|For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;Evil will not sojourn with You.
Psa.|5:5|-|Those who boast will not standBefore Your eyes;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
Psa.|5:6|-|You will destroy those who speak lies.Jehovah abhors a man of bloodshed and deceit.
Psa.|5:7|-|But as for me, in the abundance of Your lovingkindnessI will come into Your |a|house;
I will bow down toward Your |b|holy templeIn fear of You.
Psa.|5:8|-|O Jehovah, lead me in Your righteousnessOn account of those who lie in wait for me;
Make Your way straight before me.
Psa.|5:9|-|For there is no truth in their mouth;Their inward part is corruption itself;
|a|Their throat is an open |b|grave;They |c|flatter with their tongue.
Psa.|5:10|-||1|Hold them guilty, O God;Let them fall by their own counsels;
Because of the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out,For they have rebelled against You.
Psa.|5:11|-|But let all who |a|take refuge in You rejoice;Let them shout for joy forever;
And may You spread a cover over them;And those who love Your name
Will exult in You.
Psa.|5:12|-|For You will bless the righteous man, O Jehovah;You will surround him with favor as with a shield.
