ULT PSA Chapter 5

5 For the director. On the flutes. A psalm of David.

5 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.
