For the Chief Musician; with the {Or, wind instruments}Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
Give ear to my words, O Jehovah,
Consider my meditation.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God;
For unto thee do I pray.
O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice;
In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
{Or, The evil man}Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
{Or, Fools}The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight:
Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies:
Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house:
In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of {Or, them that lie in wait for me}mine enemies;
Make thy way {Or, level}straight before my face.
For there is no {Or, stedfastness}faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is {Or, a yawning gulf}very wickedness;
Their throat is an open sepulchre;
They {Hebrew: make smooth with tongue}flatter with their tongue.
Hold them guilty, O God;
Let them fall {Or, from their counsels}by their own counsels;
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
For they have rebelled against thee.
{Or, So shall all those…rejoice. They shall shout…and thou shall defend them: They shall also…shall be joyful in thee}But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice,
Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:
Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
For thou wilt bless the righteous;
O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
Querverweise zu Psalm 5,12 Ps 5,12
{Or, Happy}Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,Nor standeth in the way of sinners,Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
But his delight is in the law of Jehovah;And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,Whose leaf also doth not wither; {Or, in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper}And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about.
But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me;My glory and the lifter up of my head.
{Or, Victory}Salvation belongeth unto Jehovah:Thy blessing be upon thy people. [Selah
For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield:Jehovah will give grace and glory;No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Jehovah will give strength unto his people;Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah,That delighteth greatly in his commandments.
He will bless them that fear Jehovah,Both small and great.
