Psalm 5
NIV Parallel CSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New International VersionChristian Standard Bible
1For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David. Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.1Listen to my words, LORD; consider my sighing.
2Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.2Pay attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.
3In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.3In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case to you and watch expectantly.
4For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot dwell with you.
5The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;5The boastful cannot stand in your sight; you hate all evildoers.
6you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.6You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors violent and treacherous people.
7But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.7But I enter your house by the abundance of your faithful love; I bow down toward your holy temple in reverential awe of you.
8Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies-- make your way straight before me.8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my adversaries; make your way straight before me.
9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.9For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongues.
10Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.10Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel against you.
11But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in 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.
12Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.12For you, LORD, bless the righteous one; you surround him with favor like a shield.
