ULT PSA Chapter 5

5 For the chief musician; the flutes; psalm David

1 To my words give ear, Yahweh!

Understand my murmuring!

2 Listen attentively to the sound of my cry for help,

my king and my God,

for to you I pray!

3 Yahweh, in the morning you hear my voice.

In the morning I prepare for you and watch.

4 For you are not a god pleased with wickedness;

evil ones will not sojourn with you.

5 The arrogant will not stand in front of your eyes;

you hate all doers of iniquity.

6 You will destroy speakers of falsehood;

the man of blood and deceit Yahweh abhors.

7 But I, in the greatness of your covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house;

I will bow down toward your temple of holiness in fear.

8 Yahweh, guide me in your righteousness because of my watchers;

straighten before my face your path.

9 For there is no firmness in his mouth;

their inward being is destruction.

An open tomb is their throat;

their tongue they make smooth.

10 Make them guilty, God;

may they fall due to their schemes!

Because of their many transgressions, drive them out,

for they rebel against you!

11 But may all refuge seekers in you rejoice;

may they shout joyfully to eternity,

and may you cover over them,

and may lovers of your name exult in you.

12 For you, Yahweh, you bless the righteous,

you surround him, with favor as a shield.
