Psalms Chapter 5
Ayo, Lord, peep my words and feel my thoughts.
[To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.] Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
Hear my shout, my King and God; I’m praying to you, no cap.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
In the morning, you'll catch my voice, Lord; I’m sending up my prayers and looking up.
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct {my prayer} unto thee, and will look up.
You don't mess with that wickedness; evil can't vibe with you.
For thou {art} not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
Fools can't hang in your presence; you lowkey can’t stand all the sketchy folks.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. {in...: Heb. before thine eyes}
You’ll take out those who spread lies; the Lord's totally not about the bloody and deceitful.
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. {bloody...: Heb. man of bloods and deceit}
But for me? I'm rolling into your crib, all about your mercy, and I'm ready to worship in your holy spot.
But as for me, I will come {into} thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: {and} in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. {thy holy...: Heb. the temple of thy holiness}
Guide me, Lord, in your rizz because of my haters; make your path straight ahead of me.
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. {mine...: Heb. those which observe me}
They ain’t genuine; their words are sus, and their hearts are wicked; their throats are like open graves, just straight flattery.
For {there is} no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part {is} very wickedness; their throat {is} an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. {faithfulness: or, stedfastness} {their mouth: Heb. his mouth, that is, the mouth of any of them} {very...: Heb. wickednesses}
Take them down, God; let them flop on their own schemes; boot them out for all their mess-ups, 'cause they’ve turned against you.
Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. {Destroy...: or, Make them guilty} {by...: or, from their counsels}
But all who trust in you should vibe and shout for joy, 'cause you got their back; those who love your name should be lit in you.
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. {defendest...: Heb. coverest over, or, protectest them}
You, Lord, bless the righteous; you wrap them in favor like a shield.
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as {with} a shield. {compass: Heb. crown}
