- Kapitel 5 -

Listen to my words

For the chief musician; with wind instruments. A psalm of David. Listen to my call to you, Yahweh; think about my groanings.

Listen to the sound of my call, my King and my God, for it is to you that I pray.

Yahweh, in the morning you hear my cry; in the morning I will bring my petition to you and wait expectantly.

Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people will not be your guests.

The arrogant will not stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.

You will destroy liars; Yahweh despises violent and deceitful men.

But as for me, because of your great covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house; in reverence I will bow down toward your holy temple.

Oh Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your path straight before me.

For there is no truth in their mouth; their inward being is wicked; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue.

Declare them guilty, God; may their schemes be their downfall! Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

But may all those who take refuge in you rejoice; let them always shout for joy because you defend them; let them be joyful in you, those who love your name.

For you will bless the righteous, Yahweh; you will surround them with favor as with a shield.

Listen to my words

Give ear to my words, LORD. Consider my meditation.

Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.

LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.

The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

For you will bless the righteous. LORD, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
