Chapter 5
1לַמְנַצֵּחַ אֶֽל־הַנְּחִילוֹת מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽדFor the leader; on neḥiloth. A psalm of David.
2אֲמָרַי הַאֲזִינָה יְהֹוָה בִּינָה הֲגִיגִֽיGive ear to my speech, O ETERNAL One; consider my utterance.
3הַקְשִׁיבָה לְקוֹל שַׁוְעִי מַלְכִּי וֵאלֹהָי כִּֽי־אֵלֶיךָ אֶתְפַּלָּֽלHeed the sound of my cry, my Sovereign and God, for I pray to You.
4יְֽהֹוָה בֹּקֶר תִּשְׁמַע קוֹלִי בֹּקֶר אֶעֱרׇךְ־לְךָ וַאֲצַפֶּֽהHear my voice, O ETERNAL One, at daybreak; at daybreak I plead before You, and wait.
5כִּי לֹא אֵֽל־חָפֵץ־רֶשַׁע אָתָּה לֹא יְגֻרְךָ רָֽעFor You are not a God who desires wickedness; evil cannot abide with You;
6לֹֽא־יִתְיַצְּבוּ הוֹלְלִים לְנֶגֶד עֵינֶיךָ שָׂנֵאתָ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶןthe wanton cannot endure in Your sight. You detest all evildoers;
7תְּאַבֵּד דֹּבְרֵי כָזָב אִישׁ־דָּמִים וּמִרְמָה יְתָעֵב יְהֹוָֽהYou doom those who speak lies; deceitful murderers GOD abhors.
8וַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבוֹא בֵיתֶךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵֽיכַל־קׇדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָBut I, through Your abundant love, enter Your house; I bow down in awe at Your holy temple.
9יְהֹוָה נְחֵנִי בְצִדְקָתֶךָ לְמַעַן שׁוֹרְרָי (הושר) [הַיְשַׁר] לְפָנַי דַּרְכֶּֽךָO ETERNAL One, lead me along Your righteous [path] because of my watchful foes; make Your way straight before me.
10כִּי אֵין בְּפִיהוּ נְכוֹנָה קִרְבָּם הַוּוֹת קֶֽבֶר־פָּתוּחַ גְּרֹנָם לְשׁוֹנָם יַחֲלִיקֽוּןFor there is no sincerity on their lips; their heart is [filled with] malice; their throat is an open grave; their tongue slippery.
11הַאֲשִׁימֵם אֱֽלֹהִים יִפְּלוּ מִֽמֹּעֲצוֹתֵיהֶם בְּרֹב פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵמוֹ כִּי־מָרוּ בָֽךְCondemn them, O God; let them fall by their own devices; cast them out for their many crimes, for they defy You.
12וְיִשְׂמְחוּ כׇל־חוֹסֵי בָךְ לְעוֹלָם יְרַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵךְ עָלֵימוֹ וְֽיַעְלְצוּ בְךָ אֹהֲבֵי שְׁמֶֽךָBut let all who take refuge in You rejoice, ever jubilant as You shelter them; and let those who love Your name exult in You.
13כִּֽי־אַתָּה תְּבָרֵךְ צַדִּיק יְהֹוָה כַּצִּנָּה רָצוֹן תַּעְטְרֶֽנּוּFor You surely bless the righteous, O ETERNAL One, encompassing them with favor like a shield.
