For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning
her that inherits. 5:1 Hearken to my words, O Yehovah, attend to m cry.
5:2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my Elohim: for to
thee, O Yehovah, will I pray.
5:3 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon
thee, and will look up.
5:4 For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker
of wickedness dwell with thee.
5:5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O
Yehovah, all them that work iniquity.
5:6 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: Yehovah abhors the bloody
and deceitful man.
5:7 But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will
worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.
5:8 Lead me, O Yehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make my
way plain before thy face.
5:9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat
is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
5:10 Judge them, O Elohim; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out
according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked
thee, O Yehovah.
5:11 But let all that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for
ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall
rejoice in thee.
5:12 For thou, Yehovah, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as
with a shield of favour. |
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm
of David. 5:1 Give ear to my words, O Yehovah,
consider my meditation.
5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my Elohim: for unto thee
will I pray.
5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Yehovah; in the morning will I
direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
5:4 For thou art not a Elohim that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall
evil dwell with thee.
5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of
iniquity.
5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: Yehovah will abhor the
bloody and deceitful man.
5:7 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.
5:8 Lead me, O Yehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy
way straight before my face.
5:9 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.
5:10 Destroy thou them, O Elohim; let them fall by their own counsels; cast
them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled
against thee.
5:11 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.
5:12 For thou, Yehovah, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass
him as with a shield. |
