1 [To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.] Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation.2 Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.3 Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.4 For thou art not a *God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.5 Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.7 But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.8 Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.9 For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.10 Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.11 And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.12 For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous {man}; with favour wilt thou surround him as {with} a shield.

1 Vir die musiekleier; met fluite. 'n Psalm van Dawid.2 o HERE, luister na my woorde, let op my versugting.3 Gee ag op die stem van my hulpgeroep, my Koning en my God, want tot U bid ek.4 In die môre , HERE, sal U my stem hoor; in die môre sal ek dit aan U voorlê en afwag.5 Want U is nie 'n God wat behae het in goddeloosheid nie; die kwaaddoener sal by U nie vertoef nie.6 Die onsinniges sal voor u oë nie standhou nie; U haat al die werkers van ongeregtigheid.7 U sal die leuensprekers laat omkom; van die man van bloed en bedrog het die HERE 'n afsku.8 Maar ek, deur die grootheid van u goedertierenheid mag ek in u huis ingaan, my buig na u heilige tempel, in u vrees.9 HERE, lei my in u geregtigheid om my vyande ontwil; maak u weg voor my reg.10 Want in hulle mond is niks betroubaars nie; hulle binneste bring onheil; hulle keel is 'n oop graf; hulle maak hul tong glad.11 Verklaar hulle skuldig, o God! Laat hulle val deur hul planne; dryf hulle weg oor die menigte van hul oortredinge, want hulle is wederstrewig teen U.12 Maar laat hulle almal bly wees wat by U skuil; laat hulle vir ewig jubel, en beskut U hulle; en laat in U juig die wat u Naam liefhet. [ (Psalms 5:13) Want U seën die regverdige, o HERE, U omring hom met welbehae soos met 'n skild. ]
