תהילים הPsalms 5

For the leader; on neḥiloth. Meaning of Heb. uncertain. A psalm of David.

Give ear to my speech, O ETERNAL One;consider my utterance.

Heed the sound of my cry,my Sovereign and God,for I pray to You.

Hear my voice, O ETERNAL One, at daybreak;at daybreak I plead before You, and wait.

For You are not a God who desires wickedness;evil cannot abide with You;

the wanton cannot endure in Your sight.You detest all evildoers;

You doom those who speak lies;deceitful murderers GOD abhors.

But I, through Your abundant love, enter Your house;I bow down in awe at Your holy temple.

O ETERNAL One, lead me along Your righteous [path] because of my watchful foes;make Your way straight before me.

For there is no sincerity on their lips; their heart is [filled with] malice;their throat is an open grave;their tongue slippery.

Condemn them, O God;let them fall by their own devices;cast them out for their many crimes,for they defy You.

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice,ever jubilant as You shelter them;and let those who love Your name exult in You.

For You surely bless the righteous, O ETERNAL One,encompassing them with favor like a shield.
