Tehillim 5

Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 5

'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 Give ear to my words, O HaShem, consider my meditation.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my G-d; for unto Thee do I pray.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 O HaShem, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 For Thou art not a G-d that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with Thee.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; HaShem abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.


'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000008-QINU`"'9 O HaShem, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my face.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000009-QINU`"'10 For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their inward part is a yawning gulf, their throat is an open sepulchre; they make smooth their tongue.

'"`UNIQ--named-0000000A-QINU`"'11 Hold them guilty, O G-d, let them fall by their own counsels; cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against Thee.

'"`UNIQ--named-0000000B-QINU`"'12 So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, they shall ever shout for joy, and Thou shalt shelter them; let them also that love Thy name exult in Thee.

'"`UNIQ--named-0000000C-QINU`"'13 For Thou dost bless the righteous; O HaShem, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.
