| Chapter 5 |
1 |
To the Overseer, 'Concerning the Inheritances.' -- A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation. --
|
2 |
Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually. --
|
3 |
Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out. --
|
4 |
For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not. --
|
5 |
The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity. --
|
6 |
Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate. --
|
7 |
And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear. --
|
8 |
O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way, --
|
9 |
For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth. --
|
10 |
Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee. --
|
11 |
And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee. --
|
12 |
For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him! --
