Salmos 5 · Dá ouvidos às minhas palavras

1For the leader; on neḥiloth. Meaning of Heb. uncertain. A psalm of David.

2Give ear to my speech, O ETERNAL One;consider my utterance.

3Heed the sound of my cry,my Sovereign and God,for I pray to You.

4Hear my voice, O ETERNAL One, at daybreak;at daybreak I plead before You, and wait.

5For You are not a God who desires wickedness;evil cannot abide with You;

6the wanton cannot endure in Your sight.You detest all evildoers;

7You doom those who speak lies;deceitful murderers GOD abhors.

8But I, through Your abundant love, enter Your house;I bow down in awe at Your holy temple.

9O ETERNAL One, lead me along Your righteous [path] because of my watchful foes;make Your way straight before me.

10For there is no sincerity on their lips; their heart is [filled with] malice;their throat is an open grave;their tongue slippery.

11Condemn them, O God;let them fall by their own devices;cast them out for their many crimes,for they defy You.

12But let all who take refuge in You rejoice,ever jubilant as You shelter them;and let those who love Your name exult in You.

13For You surely bless the righteous, O ETERNAL One,encompassing them with favor like a shield.
