Дирижеру хора. Для свирелей. Псалом Давида.

Услышь слова мои, Господи,
    пойми стенания мои!
Внемли крику о помощи,
    мой Царь и мой Бог,
    ведь я молюсь Тебе.

Утром, Господи, Ты услышишь мой голос,
    утром предстану с мольбой перед Тобою
    и замру в ожидании.
Ты не Бог, желающий беззакония,
    зло не сможет с Тобой обитать.
Надменные не устоят перед Тобой,
    всех делающих зло Ты ненавидишь.
Ты погубишь говорящих ложь;
    кровожадных и коварных гнушается Господь.
Но я по великой милости Твоей
    войду в дом Твой,
поклонюсь в святом храме Твоем
    в страхе перед Тобой.

Веди меня, Господи, в праведности Твоей
    из-за моих врагов;
    путь Твой передо мной сделай прямым.
10 Ведь ни одному слову из уст их верить нельзя,
    сердце их исполнено пагубы.
Гортань их – открытая могила,
    языком своим они льстят.
11 Осуди их, Боже!
    Пусть падут из-за козней своих.
Из-за многих грехов их отвергни их,
    ведь они против Тебя восстали.
12 Но пусть возрадуются все,
    кто в Тебе ищет прибежища;
пусть вечно поют от радости.
    Окажи им Свое покровительство,
    чтобы возрадовались в Тебе любящие Твое имя.

13 Ведь Ты благословляешь праведника, Господи,
    как щитом, окружаешь его благосклонностью.

Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Psalm 5[a]

For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.

Listen(A) to my words, Lord,
    consider my lament.(B)
Hear my cry for help,(C)
    my King and my God,(D)
    for to you I pray.

In the morning,(E) Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly.(F)
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people(G) are not welcome.
The arrogant(H) cannot stand(I)
    in your presence.
You hate(J) all who do wrong;
    you destroy those who tell lies.(K)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
    you, Lord, detest.
But I, by your great love,
    can come into your house;
in reverence(L) I bow down(M)
    toward your holy temple.(N)

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness(O)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight(P) before me.
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;(Q)
    with their tongues they tell lies.(R)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,(S)
    for they have rebelled(T) against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.(U)
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name(V) may rejoice in you.(W)

12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;(X)
    you surround them(Y) with your favor as with a shield.(Z)
