Psalm 5
NLT Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationInternational Standard Version
1O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning.1LORD, listen to my words, consider my groaning.
2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you.2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for unto you will I pray.
3Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.3LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I will pray to you, and I will watch for your answer.
4O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.4Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you.
5Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil.5Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness.
6You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers.6You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the person of bloodshed and deceit.
7Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.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.
8Lead me in the right path, O LORD, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your path straight before me.
9My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery.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.
10O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.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.
11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.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.
12For you bless the godly, O LORD; you surround them with your shield of love.12Indeed, you will bless the righteous one, LORD, like a large shield, you will surround him with favor.
