Psalm 5 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Lead Me in Your Righteousness

Psa 5:1

For the choir director. For [fn]the flutes. A Psalm of David.

Give ear to my words, O Yahweh,

Consider my meditation.

Psa 5:2

Give heed to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,

For to You I pray.

Psa 5:3

O Yahweh, in the morning, [fn]You will hear my voice;

In the morning I will order my [fn]prayer to You and eagerly watch.

Psa 5:4

For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;

Evil does not sojourn with You.

Psa 5:5

The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes;

You hate all workers of iniquity.

Psa 5:6

You destroy those who speak falsehood;

Yahweh abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

Psa 5:7

But as for me, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness I will enter Your house,

[fn]At Your holy temple I will worship in fear of You.

Psa 5:8

O Yahweh, lead me in Your righteousness because of [fn]my foes;

Make Your way [fn]straight before me.

Psa 5:9

There is nothing [fn]reliable in their mouth;

Their inward part is destruction itself.

Their throat is an open grave;

They [fn]flatter with their tongue.

Psa 5:10

Hold them guilty, O God;

By their own devices let them fall!

In the abundance of their transgressions thrust them out,

For they are rebellious against You.

Psa 5:11

But let all who take refuge in You be glad,

Let them ever sing for joy;

And [fn]may You shelter them,

That those who love Your name may exult in You.

Psa 5:12

For it is You who blesses the righteous one, O Yahweh,

You surround him with favor as with a large shield.
