PSALMS - Chapter 5

A Psalm of David

Give ear to my words, O YAHWEH, consider my meditation. Give heed to the voice of my cry, my king and my elohim, for to you I will pray. My voice you shall hear in the morning, O YAHWEH; in the morning I will direct it to you, and I will look up.

For you are not a Elohim who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with you. The boastful shall not stand in your sight; you hate all workers of iniquity. You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; YAHWEH abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy; In fear of you I will worship toward your holy temple. Lead me, O YAHWEH, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is destruction; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue. Pronounce them guilty, O Elohim! Let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you. But let all those rejoice who put their trust in you; Let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them; let those also who love your name be joyful in You.

For you, O YAHWEH, will bless the righteous; with favor you will surround him as with a shield.

AN ADDED TREAT!

Chapter 6

A Psalm of David.

O YAHWEH, do not rebuke me in your anger, nor chasten me in your hot displeasure. Have mercy on me, O YAHWEH, for I am weak; O YAHWEH, heal me, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is greatly troubled; But you, O YAHWEH—how long?

Return, O YAHWEH, deliver me! Oh, save me for your mercies' sake! For in death there is no remembrance of you; in the grave who will give you thanks? I am weary with my groaning; all night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears. My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows old because of all my enemies.  Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for YAHWEH has heard the voice of my weeping.

YAHWEH has heard my supplication; YAHWEH will receive my prayer. Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

HalleluYah!
