Psalms 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 For the leader; with wind instruments. A psalm of David.	1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Hear my words, O LORD; listen to my sighing.	2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 Hear my cry for help, my king, my God! To you I pray, O LORD;	3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 at dawn you will hear my cry; at dawn I will plead before you and wait.	4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 You are not a god who delights in evil; no wicked person finds refuge with you;	5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 the arrogant cannot stand before you. You hate all who do evil;	6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 you destroy all who speak falsely. Murderers and deceivers the LORD abhors.	7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 But I can enter your house because of your great love. I can worship in your holy temple because of my reverence for you, LORD.	8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 Guide me in your justice because of my foes; make straight your way before me.	9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 For there is no sincerity in their mouths; their hearts are corrupt. Their throats are open graves; on their tongues are subtle lies.	10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 Declare them guilty, God; make them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many sins; they have rebelled against you.	11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 Then all who take refuge in you will be glad and forever shout for joy. Protect them that you may be the joy of those who love your name.	12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
13 For you, LORD, bless the just; you surround them with favor like a shield.
