Psalmen 5
Het Boek
5 Een psalm van David voor de koordirigent. Te begeleiden met fluitspel.
2 O Here, wilt U mijn gebed aanhoren?
Luister toch naar mijn smeken.
3 God, U bent mijn Koning
en ik richt mij tot U.
4 Elke morgen kijk ik omhoog naar U
en wacht op uw antwoord,
en U hoort mij roepen.
5 Ik weet dat slechtheid
bij U geen standhoudt
en dat geen enkele goddeloze
op uw bescherming kan rekenen.
6 Hoogmoedige zondaars
kunnen uw onderzoekende blik niet doorstaan,
omdat U hun slechte daden haat.
7 Om hun leugens zult U hen vernietigen,
U verafschuwt moord en bedrog, Here.
8 Ik zelf mag dankzij uw genade en liefde
uw tempel binnengaan.
Met diep ontzag zal ik U eren.
9 Here, wilt U mij leiden?
Anders zullen mijn vijanden over mij zegevieren.
Wilt U mij duidelijk maken wat ik moet doen
en welke weg ik moet inslaan?
10 Mijn tegenstanders zullen elke kans aangrijpen
om mij in een kwaad daglicht te stellen.
Wat uit hun mond komt,
stinkt naar zonde en dood,
zij gebruiken hun tong voor leugen en bedrog.
Hun lippen spuwen dodelijk vergif.
11 O God, spreek het ‘schuldig’ over hen uit!
Vang hen met hun eigen valstrikken,
verdrijf hen om de overvloed van hun overtredingen,
want zij komen in opstand tegen U.
12 Maar ieder die zijn vertrouwen op U stelt,
zal zich verheugen.
Zij zullen tot in eeuwigheid van vreugde juichen,
omdat U hen beschermt.
Dan zal ieder die U liefheeft,
overlopen van blijdschap.
13 Want U, Here, zegent uw volgelingen.
U beschermt hen met uw schild van liefde.

Lead Me in Your Righteousness
For the choir director. For [a]the flutes. A Psalm of David.
5 (A)Give ear to my words, O Yahweh,
Consider my (B)meditation.
2 Give heed to (C)the sound of my cry for help, (D)my King and my God,
For to You I pray.
3 O Yahweh, in the morning, [b]You will hear my voice;
In the (E)morning I will order my [c]prayer to You and eagerly (F)watch.
4 For You are not a God (G)who delights in wickedness;
(H)Evil does not sojourn with You.
5 The (I)boastful shall not (J)stand before Your eyes;
You (K)hate all workers of iniquity.
6 You (L)destroy those who speak falsehood;
Yahweh abhors (M)the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7 But as for me, (N)in the abundance of Your lovingkindness I will enter Your house,
[d]At Your holy temple I will (O)worship in (P)fear of You.
8 O Yahweh, (Q)lead me (R)in Your righteousness (S)because of [e]my foes;
Make Your way [f]straight before me.
9 There is (T)nothing [g]reliable in their mouth;
Their (U)inward part is destruction itself.
Their (V)throat is an open grave;
They [h]flatter with their tongue.
10 Hold them guilty, O God;
(W)By their own devices let them fall!
In the abundance of their transgressions (X)thrust them out,
For they are (Y)rebellious against You.
11 But let all who (Z)take refuge in You (AA)be glad,
Let them ever sing for joy;
And [i]may You (AB)shelter them,
That those who (AC)love Your name may exult in You.
12 For it is You who (AD)blesses the righteous one, O Yahweh,
You (AE)surround him with favor as with a large shield.

Psalm 5
New International Version
Psalm 5[a]
For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.
1 Listen(A) to my words, Lord,
consider my lament.(B)
2 Hear my cry for help,(C)
my King and my God,(D)
for to you I pray.
3 In the morning,(E) Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.(F)
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
with you, evil people(G) are not welcome.
5 The arrogant(H) cannot stand(I)
in your presence.
You hate(J) all who do wrong;
6 you destroy those who tell lies.(K)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
you, Lord, detest.
7 But I, by your great love,
can come into your house;
in reverence(L) I bow down(M)
toward your holy temple.(N)
8 Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness(O)
because of my enemies—
make your way straight(P) before me.
9 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)
