Psalm 5

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῆς κληρονομούσης· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ.

1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.

2 ΤΑ ρήματά μου ἐνώτισαι, Κύριε, σύνες τῆς κραυγῆς μου·

2 In the English, this verse is part of verse 1.

3 πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου, ὁ βασιλεύς μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου. ὅτι πρὸς σὲ προσεύξομαι, Κύριε·

3 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 τὸ πρωΐ εἰσακούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς μου, τὸ πρωΐ παραστήσομαί σοι καὶ ἐπόψει με,

4 In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

5 ὅτι οὐχὶ Θεὸς θέλων ἀνομίαν σὺ εἶ· οὐ παροικήσει σοι πονηρευόμενος,

5 For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 οὐδὲ διαμενοῦσι παράνομοι κατέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου. ἐμίσησας πάντας τοὺς ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν·

6 Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 ἀπολεῖς πάντας τοὺς λαλοῦντας τὸ ψεῦδος. ἄνδρα αἱμάτων καὶ δόλιον βδελύσσεται Κύριος.

7 You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

8 ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν τῷ πλήθει τοῦ ἐλέους σου εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου, προσκυνήσω πρὸς ναὸν ἅγιόν σου ἐν φόβῳ σου.

8 But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear towards your holy temple. (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

9 Κύριε, ὁδήγησόν με ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ σου ἕνεκα τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, κατεύθυνον ἐνώπιόν σου τὴν ὁδόν μου.

9 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make my way plain before your face. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

10 ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν ἀλήθεια, ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν ματαία· τάφος ἀνεῳγμένος ὁ λάρυγξ αὐτῶν, ταῖς γλώσσαις αὐτῶν ἐδολιοῦσαν.

10 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)

11 κρῖνον αὐτούς, ὁ Θεός. ἀποπεσάτωσαν ἀπὸ τῶν διαβουλιῶν αὐτῶν· κατὰ τὸ πλῆθο ς τῶν ἀσεβειῶν αὐτῶν ἔξωσον αὐτούς, ὅτι παρεπίκρανάν σε, Κύριε.

11 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord. (verse 10 in Brenton's English)

12 καὶ εὐφρανθείησαν πάντες οἱ ἐλπίζοντες ἐπὶ σέ· εἰς αἰῶνα ἀγαλλιάσονται, καὶ κατασκηνώσεις ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ καυχήσονται ἐν σοὶ πάντες οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸ ὄνομά σου.

12 But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell amongst them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you. (verse 11 in Brenton's English)

13 ὅτι σὺ εὐλογήσεις δίκαιον· Κύριε, ὡς ὅπλῳ εὐδοκίας ἐστεφάνωσας ἡμᾶς.

13 For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favour. (verse 12 in Brenton's English)
