5:1  To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.' -- A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
5:2  Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.
5:3  Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.
5:4  For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.
5:5  The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.
5:6  Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.
5:7  And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.
5:8  O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,
5:9  For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.
5:10  Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.
5:11  And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.
5:12  For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
