1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 5

1 David prayeth, and profeseth his study in prayer. 4 God favoureth not the wicked. 7 David, professing his faith, prayeth unto God to guide him, 10 to destroy his enemies, 11 and to preserve the godly.

 5:1 ¶ To the Overseer, 'Concerning the Inheritances.'—A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

 5:2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.

 5:3 Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

 5:4 For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.

 5:5 The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.

 5:6 Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.

 5:7 And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.

 5:8 O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

 5:9 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.

 5:10 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

 5:11 And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.

 5:12 For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
