Psalm 5

Complete Jewish Bible

5 ⁽⁰⁾For the leader. On wind instruments. A psalm of David:

²⁽¹⁾Give ear to my words, Adonai,
consider my inmost thoughts.
³⁽²⁾Listen to my cry for help,
my king and my God, for I pray to you.
⁴⁽³⁾Adonai, in the morning you will hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my needs before you
and wait expectantly.

⁵⁽⁴⁾For you are not a God
who takes pleasure in wickedness;
evil cannot remain with you.
⁶⁽⁵⁾Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes,
you hate all who do evil,
⁷⁽⁶⁾you destroy those who tell lies,
Adonai detests men of blood and deceivers.

⁸⁽⁷⁾But I can enter your house
because of your great grace and love;
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in reverence for you.
⁹⁽⁸⁾Lead me, Adonai, in your righteousness
because of those lying in wait for me;
make your way straight before me.
¹⁰⁽⁹⁾For in their mouths there is nothing sincere,
within them are calamities,
their throats are open tombs,
they flatter with their tongues.
¹¹⁽¹⁰⁾God, declare them guilty!
Let them fall through their own intrigues,
For their many crimes, throw them down;
since they have rebelled against you.

¹²⁽¹¹⁾But let all who take refuge in you rejoice,
let them forever shout for joy!
Shelter them; and they will be glad,
those who love your name.
¹³⁽¹²⁾For you, Adonai, bless the righteous;
you surround them with favor like a shield.

Tehillim 5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

5 (For the one directing. For the flutes. Mizmor Dovid) Give ear to my words, Hashem, consider my meditation.

²⁽³⁾Pay heed unto the voice of my cry, Malki v’Elohai; for unto Thee will I daven.

³⁽⁴⁾My voice shalt Thou hear in the boker, Hashem; in the boker will I bring my prayer before Thee as a spiritual sacrifice and wait for an answer.

⁴⁽⁵⁾For Thou art not El that hath pleasure in resha; neither shall rah dwell with Thee.

⁵⁽⁶⁾The holelim (arrogant) shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

⁶⁽⁷⁾Thou shalt destroy them that speak kazav (falsehood); Hashem will abhor the ish damim u’mirmah (bloody and deceitful man).

⁷⁽⁸⁾But as for me, I will come into Thy Bais in the multitude of Thy chesed; and in Thy fear will I bow down toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh.

⁸⁽⁹⁾Lead me, Hashem, in Thy tzedakah because of mine enemies; make Thy Derech straight before my face.

⁹⁽¹⁰⁾For there is nothing trustworthy in their mouth; their inwardness is a corruptible abyss; their throat is an open kever; they speak smooth deceit with their leshon.

¹⁰⁽¹¹⁾Punish them, Elohim; let them fall by their own intrigues; in the multitude of their peysha’im cast them out; for they have rebelled against Thee.

¹¹⁽¹²⁾But let all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice; let them shout for joy l’olam, and spread Thou protection over them that they be joyful in Thee, who love Shemecha (Thy Name).

¹²⁽¹³⁾For Thou, Hashem, wilt bless the Tzaddik; with ratzon (favor) wilt Thou encompass him as with a tzinnah (large rectangular shield).
