Psalms 5Strong’s and the original words follow this translation, each phrase matched to the King James wording it updates. Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines the older English, so it is off here.
On the chapter
To the chief musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to you will I pray.
My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer to you, and will look up.
For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.
The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.
Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.
Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.
But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.
For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor will you compass him as with a shield.
