Psalm 5 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 5:1For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. (LXX 5:2) Hearken to my words, O Lord, [fn]attend to my cry.
Psa 5:2(LXX 5:3) Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to thee, O Lord, will I pray.
Psa 5:3(LXX 5:4) In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.
Psa 5:4(LXX 5:5) For thou art not a God that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.
Psa 5:5(LXX 5:6) Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
Psa 5:6(LXX 5:7) Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
Psa 5:7(LXX 5:8) But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.
Psa 5:8(LXX 5:9) Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before thy face.
Psa 5:9(LXX 5:10) For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their [fn] throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
Psa 5:10(LXX 5:11) Judge them, O God; let them [fn]fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
Psa 5:11(LXX 5:12) 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.
Psa 5:12(LXX 5:13) For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast [fn]compassed us as with a shield of favour.
