Psalm 5
To the Leader of the Nehiloth (Flutes?) – A melody of David
YHWH
. Listen to my Word – take interest in my talking
My God & King
. Pay Attention (!) to the sound of my cry
. For to you I begin praying
YHWH
. In the morning listen to my sound (voice)
. In the morning I set (everything in order – like a sacrifice) and wait expectantly for you
For
. You are not a god who is pleased with wickedness
. Evil is not your companion
. The boastful will not stand before your eyes
. For you hate all troublemakers
YHWH
. You exterminate liars
. You despise murderers and deceivers
Through your abundant loving-kindness
. Even I enter your house
. I bow toward you holy temple in fear
YHWH
. Lead me in your justice
. Because of those who watch me, make your way clear in front of me
For
. There is nothing is in their mouth
. They are established in their evil
. Their throat is an open grave
. They make smooth-flattery with their tongue
God
. Declare them guilty
. Fail their counsel
. Banish them in their abundant crimes
. For they have rebelled against you
All who seek shelter in you are happy
. Let their loud-happy-yell last
. And cover them
. Let them rejoice who intimately-love your name
YHWH
. You make the just (righteous) happy
. Like a shield you surround them with goodness
