Psalm 5
New King James Version
A Prayer for Guidance
To the Chief Musician. With [a]flutes. A Psalm of David.
5 Give (A)ear to my words, O Lord,
Consider my [b]meditation.
2 Give heed to the voice of my cry,
My King and my God,
For to You I will pray.
3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
(B)In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.
4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil [c]dwell with You.
5 The (C)boastful shall not (D)stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the (E)bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward [d]Your holy temple.
8 (F)Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.
9 For there is no [e]faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
(G)Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
10 Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.
11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You [f]defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

Plegaria pidiendo protección
Al músico principal; sobre Nehilot. Salmo de David.
5 Escucha, Señor, mis palabras;
toma en cuenta mis gemidos.
2 Mi rey y Dios, presta atención a mi clamor,
porque a ti dirijo mi oración.
3 Oh, Señor, por la mañana escucharás mi voz;
por la mañana me presentaré ante ti, y esperaré.
4 No eres un Dios que se complazca en la maldad;
los malvados no pueden habitar contigo.
5 Los perversos no pueden presentarse ante ti,
pues aborreces a todos los malhechores.
6 Tú, Señor, destruyes a los mentirosos,
y rechazas a los asesinos y mentirosos.
7 Yo, por el contrario, y por tu gran misericordia,
puedo entrar en tu templo y alabarte reverente.
8 Guíame, Señor, en tu justicia,
y por causa de mis adversarios
endereza tu camino delante de mí.
9 Porque en sus labios no hay sinceridad;
dentro de ellos no hay más que maldad.
Su garganta es como un sepulcro abierto,
y su lengua sólo emite falsas alabanzas.(A)
10 ¡Castígalos, Dios mío!
¡Que sus propios errores los hagan caer!
¡Recházalos, por sus muchos pecados,
pues grande es su rebeldía contra ti!
11 Pero que se alegren todos los que en ti confían;
que griten siempre de júbilo, porque tú los defiendes;
que vivan felices los que aman tu nombre.
12 Tú, Señor, bendices al hombre justo;
tu favor lo rodea, como un escudo.
Psalm 5
King James Version
5 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
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 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
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 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
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 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.
