NASB Bible

Psalms 5

For the choir director; for  aflute accompaniment. A Psalm of David.

1

 aGive ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my  1 bgroaning.

2

Heed  athe sound of my cry for help,  bmy King and my God, For to You I pray.

3

In the morning, O LORD,  1You will hear my voice; In the  amorning I will order my  2prayer to You and eagerly  bwatch.

4

For You are not a God  awho takes pleasure in wickedness;  bNo evil  1dwells with You.

5

The  aboastful shall not  bstand before Your eyes; You  chate all who do iniquity.

6

You  adestroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors  bthe man of bloodshed and deceit.

7

But as for me,  aby Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house,  1At Your holy temple I will  bbow in  creverence for You.

8

O LORD,  alead me  bin Your righteousness  cbecause of  1my foes; Make Your way  2straight before me.

9

There is  anothing  1reliable in  2what they say; Their  binward part is destruction itself. Their  cthroat is an open grave; They  3flatter with their tongue.

10

Hold them guilty, O God;  aBy their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions  bthrust them out, For they are  crebellious against You.

11

But let all who  atake refuge in You  bbe glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And  1may You  cshelter them, That those who  dlove Your name may exult in You.

12

For it is You who  ablesses the righteous man, O LORD, You  bsurround him with favor as with a shield.
