Psalm 5 (WEBP)

[1] Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.
[2] Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.
[3] Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
[4] For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.
[5] The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.
[6] You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
[7] But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
[8] Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.
[9] For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
[10] Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
[11] But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
[12] For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.

Psalm 5 (BYZ)

[1] εις το τελος υπερ της κληρονομουσης ψαλμος τω δαυιδ [5:2] τα ρηματα μου ενωτισαι κυριε συνες της κραυγης μου
[2] [5:3] προσχες τη φωνη της δεησεως μου ο βασιλευς μου και ο θεος μου οτι προς σε προσευξομαι κυριε
[3] [5:4] το πρωι εισακουση της φωνης μου το πρωι παραστησομαι σοι και εποψομαι
[4] [5:5] οτι ουχι θεος θελων ανομιαν συ ει ουδε παροικησει σοι πονηρευομενος
[5] [5:6] ου διαμενουσιν παρανομοι κατεναντι των οφθαλμων σου εμισησας παντας τους εργαζομενους την ανομιαν
[6] [5:7] απολεις παντας τους λαλουντας το ψευδος ανδρα αιματων και δολιον βδελυσσεται κυριος
[7] [5:8] εγω δε εν τω πληθει του ελεους σου εισελευσομαι εις τον οικον σου προσκυνησω προς ναον αγιον σου εν φοβω σου
[8] [5:9] κυριε οδηγησον με εν τη δικαιοσυνη σου ενεκα των εχθρων μου κατευθυνον ενωπιον μου την οδον σου
[9] [5:10] οτι ουκ εστιν εν τω στοματι αυτων αληθεια η καρδια αυτων ματαια ταφος ανεωγμενος ο λαρυγξ αυτων ταις γλωσσαις αυτων εδολιουσαν
[10] [5:11] κρινον αυτους ο θεος αποπεσατωσαν απο των διαβουλιων αυτων κατα το πληθος των ασεβειων αυτων εξωσον αυτους οτι παρεπικραναν σε κυριε
[11] [5:12] και ευφρανθητωσαν παντες οι ελπιζοντες επι σε εις αιωνα αγαλλιασονται και κατασκηνωσεις εν αυτοις και καυχησονται εν σοι παντες οι αγαπωντες το ονομα σου
[12] [5:13] οτι συ ευλογησεις δικαιον κυριε ως οπλω ευδοκιας εστεφανωσας ημας
