Psalm 5
HCSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleInternational Standard Version
1For the choir director: with the flutes. A Davidic psalm. Listen to my words, LORD; consider my sighing. 1LORD, listen to my words, consider my groaning.
2Pay attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to You. 2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for unto you will I pray.
3At daybreak, LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I plead my case to You and watch 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.
4For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot dwell with You. 4Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you.
5The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all evildoers. 5Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness.
6You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery. 6You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the person of bloodshed and deceit.
7But I enter Your house by the abundance of Your faithful love; I bow down toward Your holy temple in reverential awe of You. 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.
8 LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my adversaries; make Your way straight before me. 8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your path straight before me.
9For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongues. 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.
10Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel 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 shout for joy forever. May You shelter them, and may those who love Your name boast about 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.
12For You, LORD, bless the righteous one; You surround him with favor like a shield. 12Indeed, you will bless the righteous one, LORD, like a large shield, you will surround him with favor.
