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.
Psalm 5
English Standard Version
Lead Me in Your Righteousness
To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
5 Give ear to my words, O Lord;
consider my (A)groaning.
2 Give attention to the sound of my cry,
my (B)King and my God,
for (C)to you do I pray.
3 O Lord, in (D)the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you[a] and (E)watch.
4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not dwell with you.
5 The (F)boastful shall not (G)stand before your eyes;
you (H)hate all evildoers.
6 You destroy those who speak (I)lies;
the Lord abhors (J)the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house.
I will (K)bow down (L)toward your (M)holy temple
in the fear of you.
8 (N)Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
(O)make your way straight before me.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth;
their inmost self is (P)destruction;
(Q)their throat is (R)an open grave;
they (S)flatter with their tongue.
10 (T)Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them (U)fall by their own counsels;
because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who (V)take refuge in you (W)rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may (X)exult in you.
12 For you (Y)bless the righteous, O Lord;
you (Z)cover him with favor as with (AA)a shield.

La Biblia de las Américas
Oración pidiendo protección de los malos
Para el director del coro; para acompañamiento de flauta[a]. Salmo de David.
5 Escucha mis palabras, oh Señor(A);
considera mi lamento[b](B).
2 Está atento a la voz de mi clamor(C), Rey mío y Dios mío(D),
porque es a ti a quien oro.
3 Oh Señor, de mañana oirás mi voz;
de mañana presentaré[c] mi oración[d] a ti(E),
y con ansias esperaré(F).
4 Porque tú no eres un Dios que se complace en la maldad(G);
el mal no mora[e] contigo(H).
5 Los que se ensalzan(I) no estarán delante de tus ojos(J);
aborreces a todos los que hacen iniquidad(K).
6 Destruyes a los que hablan falsedad(L);
el Señor abomina al hombre sanguinario y engañador[f](M).
7 Mas yo, por la abundancia de tu misericordia(N) entraré en tu casa;
me postraré(O) en[g] tu santo templo con reverencia[h](P).
8 Señor, guíame(Q) en tu justicia(R) por causa de mis enemigos[i];
allana[j] delante de mí tu camino(S).
9 Porque no hay sinceridad en lo que dicen[k](T);
destrucción son sus entrañas(U),
sepulcro abierto es su garganta;
con su lengua hablan lisonjas[l](V).
10 Tenlos por culpables, oh Dios;
¡que caigan por sus mismas intrigas(W)!
Echalos fuera por la multitud de sus transgresiones(X),
porque se rebelan contra ti(Y).
11 Pero alégrense(Z) todos los que en ti se refugian(AA);
para siempre canten con júbilo,
porque tú los proteges[m](AB);
regocíjense en ti los que aman tu nombre(AC).
12 Porque tú, oh Señor, bendices al justo(AD),
como con un escudo lo rodeas de tu favor(AE).
