Al Músico principal: sobre Nehiloth: Salmo de David. ESCUCHA, oh Jehová, mis palabras; Considera la meditación mía.

Está atento á la voz de mi clamor, Rey mío y Dios mío, Porque á ti oraré.

Oh Jehová, de mañana oirás mi voz; De mañana me presentaré á ti, y esperaré.

Porque tú no eres un Dios que ame la maldad: El malo no habitará junto á ti.

No estarán los insensatos delante de tus ojos: Aborreces á todos los que obran iniquidad.

Destruirás á los que hablan mentira: Al hombre de sangres y de engaño abominará Jehová.

Y yo en la multitud de tu misericordia entraré en tu casa: Adoraré hacia el templo de tu santidad en tu temor.

Guíame, Jehová, en tu justicia á causa de mis enemigos; Endereza delante de mí tu camino.

Porque no hay en su boca rectitud: Sus entrañas son pravedades; Sepulcro abierto su garganta: Con su lengua lisonjearán.

10 Desbarátalos, oh Dios; Caigan de sus consejos: Por la multitud de sus rebeliones échalos, Porque se rebelaron contra ti.

11 Y alegrarse han todos los que en ti confían; Para siempre darán voces de júbilo, porque tú los defiendes: Y en ti se regocijarán los que aman tu nombre.

12 Porque tú, oh Jehová, bendecirás al justo; Lo cercarás de benevolencia como con un escudo.

Psalm 5[a]

For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.

Listen(A) to my words, Lord,
    consider my lament.(B)
Hear my cry for help,(C)
    my King and my God,(D)
    for to you I pray.

In the morning,(E) Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly.(F)
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people(G) are not welcome.
The arrogant(H) cannot stand(I)
    in your presence.
You hate(J) all who do wrong;
    you destroy those who tell lies.(K)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
    you, Lord, detest.
But I, by your great love,
    can come into your house;
in reverence(L) I bow down(M)
    toward your holy temple.(N)

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness(O)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight(P) before me.
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;(Q)
    with their tongues they tell lies.(R)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,(S)
    for they have rebelled(T) against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.(U)
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name(V) may rejoice in you.(W)

12 Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;(X)
    you surround them(Y) with your favor as with a shield.(Z)

  1. Psalm 5:1 In Hebrew texts 5:1-12 is numbered 5:2-13.

Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

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.

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

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 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 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 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
