Salmos 5

1Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

3O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

5__a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Psalm 5:5 Or, Fools __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

7But 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.

8Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Psalm 5:8 Or, level __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ straight before my face.

9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Psalm 5:9 Or, a yawning gulf __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Psalm 5:9 Hebrew make smooth their tongue. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ flatter with their tongue.

10Hold them guilty, O God; by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

11__a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Psalm 5:11 Or, So shall all those . . . rejoice, They shall ever shout . . . and thou shalt defend them: They also . . . shall be joyful in thee. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ 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.

12For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
