Bay Psalm Book: Psalm 5

Psalme 5

1 To the cheife Musitian upon Nehiloth, a psalme of David.

¹ Heare thou my words and understand my meditation, Iehovah. ² My King, my God, attend the voyce of my cry: for to thee I pray.

³ At morn Iehavoah, thou shalt heare my voyce: to thee I will addresse ⁴ at morn, I will looke up. For thou art not a God lov’st wickednesse

neither shall evil with thee dwell. ⁵ Vaine glorious fooles before thine eyes shall never stand: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquities.

⁶ Thou wilt bring to distruction the speakers of lying-falshood, the lord will make to be abhor’d the man deceitfull, and of blood.

⁷ But I will come into thene house in multitude of thy mercy: and will in feare of thee bow downe, in temple of thy sanctity.

⁸ Lead me forth in thy rightousnes, because of mine observing spies, O Iehovah doe thou thy wayes make straight, and plaine, before mine eyes

⁹ For there no truth is in his mouth, their inward part iniquities; their throat an open sepulchre, their tongue is bent to flatteries.

¹⁰ O God make thou them desolate from their owne plots let them fall far, cast them out in their heapes of sinnes, for they against thee Rebells are.

¹¹ And all that trust in thee shall joy, and shout for joy eternallie, and thou shalt them protect: & they that love they name shall joy in thee.

¹² For thou Iehovah, wilt bestow a blessing on the rightous one: and wilt him crowne as with a sheild, with gracious acceptation.
