Psalm 5

Revised Geneva Translation

5 Hear my words, O LORD. Understand my meditation.

² Hear the voice of my cry, my King and my God. For to you I pray.

³ Hear my voice in the morning, O LORD. In the morning I will direct myself to You, and I will wait.

⁴ For You are not a God Who loves wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You.

⁵ The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all those who work iniquity.

⁶ You shall destroy those who speak lies. The LORD will abhor the bloody man, and deceitful.

⁷ But I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy. In Your fear I will worship toward Your Holy Temple.

⁸ Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness, because of my enemies. Make Your way plain before my face.

⁹ For no constancy is in their mouth. Inside they are very corruption. Their throat is an open sepulcher. They flatter with their tongue.

¹⁰ Destroy them, O God. Let them fall from their counsels. Cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they have rebelled against You.

¹¹ And let all those who trust in You rejoice, and triumph forever. And cover them. And let those who love Your Name rejoice in You.

¹² For You, LORD, will bless the righteous. You will surround him with favor, as with a shield. To him who excels on Neginoth, upon the eight tune: A Psalm of David.
