Psalm 5
ISV Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionEnglish Standard Version
1LORD, listen to my words, consider my groaning.1Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for unto you will I pray.2Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray.
3LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I will pray to you, and I will watch for your answer. 3O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.
4Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you.4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you.
5Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness.5The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers.
6You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the person of bloodshed and deceit.6You destroy those who speak lies; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7But I, because of the abundance of your gracious love, may come into your house. In awe of you, I will worship in your holy Temple.7But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you.
8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your path straight before me.8Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me.
9But as for the wicked, they do not speak truth at all. Inside them there is only wickedness. Their throat is an open grave, on their tongue is deceitful flattery.9For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.
10Declare them guilty, God! Let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them away because of their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.10Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.
11Let all those who take refuge in you rejoice! Let them shout for joy forever, and may you protect them. Let those who love your name exult in you.11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you.
12Indeed, you will bless the righteous one, LORD, like a large shield, you will surround him with favor.12For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield.
