Psa 5:1
For the choir director. For [fn]the flutes. A Psalm of David.
Give H238 ear H238 to my words H561, O Yahweh H3068,
Consider H995 my meditation H1901.
Psa 5:2
Give H7181 heed H7181 to the sound H6963 of my cry H7768 for help H7773, my King H4428 and my God H430,
For to You I pray H6419.
Psa 5:3
O Yahweh H3068, in the morning H1242, [fn]You will hear H8085 my voice H6963;
In the morning H1242 I will order H6186 my [fn]prayer to You and eagerly watch H6822.
Psa 5:4
For You are not a God H410 who delights H2655 in wickedness H7562;
Evil H7451 does not H3808 sojourn H1481 with You.
Psa 5:5
The boastful H1984 shall not stand H3320 before H5048 Your eyes H5869;
You hate H8130 all H3605 workers H6466 of iniquity H205.
Psa 5:6
You destroy H6 those who speak H1696 falsehood H3577;
Yahweh H3068 abhors H8581 the man H376 of bloodshed H1818 and deceit H4820.
Psa 5:7
But as for me, in the abundance H7230 of Your lovingkindness H2617 I will enter H935 Your house H1004,
[fn]At Your holy H6944 temple H1964 I will worship H2331 in H2331 fear H3374 of You.
Psa 5:8
O Yahweh H3068, lead H5148 me in Your righteousness H6666 because H4616 of [fn]my foes H8324;
Make H3474 Your way H1870 [fn]straight H3474 before H6440 me.
Psa 5:9
There H369 is H369 nothing H369 [fn]reliable H3559 in their H6310 mouth H6310;
Their inward H7130 part H7130 is destruction H1942 itself.
Their throat H1627 is an open H6605 grave H6913;
They [fn]flatter H2505 with their tongue H3956.
Psa 5:10
Hold H816 them guilty H816, O God H430;
By their own devices H4156 let them fall H5307!
In the abundance H7230 of their transgressions H6588 thrust H5080 them out H5080,
For they are rebellious H4784 against You.
Psa 5:11
But let all H3605 who take H2620 refuge H2620 in You be glad H8055,
Let them ever H5769 sing H7442 for H7442 joy H7442;
And [fn]may You shelter H5526 them,
That those who love H157 Your name H8034 may exult H5970 in You.
Psa 5:12
For it is You who blesses H1288 the righteous H6662 one H6662, O Yahweh H3068,
You surround H5849 him with favor H7522 as with a large H6793 shield H6793.
