Psalm 5 - The Scriptures 20091 Give ear to my words, O יהוה, Consider my meditation. 2 Attend to the voice of my cry, My Sovereign and my Elohim, For unto You I pray. 3 O יהוה, in the morning You hear my voice; I present myself to You in the morning, And I look up. 4 For You are not an Ěl taking delight in wrong, Nor does evil dwell with You. 5 The boasters do not stand before Your eyes; You hate all workers of wickedness. 6 You destroy those speaking falsehood; יהוה loathes a man of blood and deceit. 7 But I, I enter Your house In the greatness of Your loving-commitment; I bow myself toward Your set-apart Hĕḵal in Your fear. 8 O יהוה, lead me in Your righteousness because of those watching me; Make Your way straight before my face. 9 For there is no stability in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open burial-site; They flatter with their tongue. 10 Declare them guilty, O Elohim! Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them away for their many transgressions, Because they have rebelled against You. 11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; Let them ever shout for joy, because You shelter them; And let those who love Your Name exult in You. 12 For You bless the righteous, O יהוה; You surround him with favour as with a shield. |
