5:1 For the choir director; for flutes; a psalm by David. Open your ears to my words, O Yahweh. Consider my innermost thoughts.
5:2 Pay attention to my cry for help, my Melek and my Elohim, because I pray only to you.
5:3 In the morning, O Yahweh, hear my voice. In the morning I lay my needs in front of you, and I wait.
5:4 You are not an El who takes pleasure in wickedness. Evil will never be your guest.
5:5 Those who brag cannot stand in your sight. You hate all troublemakers.
5:6 You destroy those who tell lies. Yahweh is disgusted with bloodthirsty and deceitful people.
5:7 But I will enter your house because of your great mercy. Out of reverence for you, I will bow toward your holy temple.
5:8 O Yahweh, lead me in your righteousness because of those who spy on me. Make your way in front of me smooth.
5:9 Nothing in their mouths is truthful. Destruction comes from their hearts. Their throats are open graves. They flatter with their tongues.
5:10 Condemn them, O Elohim. Let their own schemes be their downfall. Throw them out for their many crimes because they have rebelled against you.
5:11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them sing with joy forever. Protect them, and let those who love your name triumph in you.
5:12 You bless righteous people, O Yahweh. Like a large shield, you surround them with your favor.
