Psalms 5

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm of David.	1 For the leader; with wind instruments. A psalm of David.
2 Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.	2 Hear my words, O LORD; listen to my sighing.
3 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.	3 Hear my cry for help, my king, my God! To you I pray, O LORD;
4 For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.	4 at dawn you will hear my cry; at dawn I will plead before you and wait.
5 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.	5 You are not a god who delights in evil; no wicked person finds refuge with you;
6 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.	6 the arrogant cannot stand before you. You hate all who do evil;
7 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.	7 you destroy all who speak falsely. Murderers and deceivers the LORD abhors.
8 But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.	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.
9 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.	9 Guide me in your justice because of my foes; make straight your way before me.
10 for there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain.	10 For there is no sincerity in their mouths; their hearts are corrupt. Their throats are open graves; on their tongues are subtle lies.
11 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.	11 Declare them guilty, God; make them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many sins; they have rebelled against you.
12 But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory 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.
13 For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.	13 For you, LORD, bless the just; you surround them with favor like a shield.
