<h2>Psalm 5</h2>
For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V1"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:1</font></SPAN> Give ear to my words,
Yahweh.
<br/>Consider my meditation.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V2"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:2</font></SPAN> Listen to the voice of
my cry, my King and my God;
<br/>for to you do I pray.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V3"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:3</font></SPAN> Yahweh, in the morning
you shall hear my voice.
<br/>In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch
expectantly.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V4"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:4</font></SPAN> For you are not a God
who has pleasure in wickedness.
<br/>Evil can't live with you.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V5"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:5</font></SPAN> The arrogant shall not
stand in your sight.
<br/>You hate all workers of iniquity.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V6"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:6</font></SPAN> You will destroy those
who speak lies.
<br/>Yahweh abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V7"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:7</font></SPAN> But as for me, in the
abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house.
<br/>I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V8"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:8</font></SPAN> Lead me, Yahweh, in
your righteousness because of my enemies.
<br/>Make your way straight before my face.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V9"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:9</font></SPAN> For there is no
faithfulness in their mouth.
<br/>Their heart is destruction.
<br/>Their throat is an open tomb.
<br/>They flatter with their tongue.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V10"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:10</font></SPAN> Hold them guilty, God.
<br/>Let them fall by their own counsels;
<br/>Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
<br/>for they have rebelled against you.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V11"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:11</font></SPAN> But let all those who
take refuge in you rejoice,
<br/>Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them.
<br/>Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
<br/> <SPAN name="C5V12"><font style="font-size:small;" color="blue">5:12</font></SPAN> For you will bless
the righteous.
<br/>Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
