Psalm 5
NLT Parallel NASB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationNew American Standard Bible 1995
1O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning.1For the choir director; for flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning.
2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you.2Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.
3Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.3In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
4O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.4For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You.
5Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil.5The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity.
6You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers.6You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.7But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.
8Lead me in the right path, O LORD, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.8O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me.
9My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery.9There is nothing reliable in what they say; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.
10O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.10Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You.
11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.11But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You.
12For you bless the godly, O LORD; you surround them with your shield of love.12For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield.
