The American Standard Version of 1901

Psalms 5

1

For the Chief Musician; with the 1 Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation. 1) Or wind instruments

2

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

3

O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

4

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: 1 Evil shall not sojourn with thee. 1) Or The evil man

5

1 The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 1) Or Fools

6

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

7

But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8

Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of 1 mine enemies; Make thy way 2 straight before my face. 1) Or them that lie in wait for me 2) Or level

9

For there is no 1 faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is 2 very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They 3 flatter with their tongue. 1) Or stedfastness 2) Or a yawning gulf 3) Heb make smooth their tongue

10

Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall 1 by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee. 1) Or from their counsels

11

1 But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 1) Or So shall all those...rejoice, They shall ever shout...and thou shalt defend them: They also...shall be joyful in thee.

12

For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
