Psalms

Morning Prayer.  Psalm 5

To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.

1Give ear to my words, O Yahweh;
give heed to my groaning.
2Hearken to the sound of my cry, my King and my God,
for to you do I pray.
3 O Yahweh, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you, and watch.

4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not sojourn with you.
5The boastful may not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.
6You destroy those who speak lies;
Yahweh abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men.

7But I through the abundance of your steadfast love will enter your house,
I will worship toward your holy temple in the fear of you.
8Lead me, O Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies;
make your way straight before me.

9For there is no truth in their mouth;
their heart is destruction,
their throat is an open sepulchre,
they flatter with their tongue.
10Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of their many transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.

11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice,
let them ever sing for joy;
and you defend them,
that those who love your name may exult in you.
12But you bless the righteous, O Yahweh;
you cover him with favour as with a shield.

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
This page displays the katapi New Standard Bible as flowing text.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
