Psalms 4

The Book of Psalms

5

  A Psalm of David.

1

Give ear to my words, O YAHUVEH, Consider my meditation.

2

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my YAHUVEH; For unto thee do I pray.

3

O YAHUVEH, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

4

For thou art not a YAHUVEH that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

5

The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: YAHUVEH abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

7

But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8

Lead me, O YAHUVEH, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.

9

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.

10

Hold them guilty, O YAHUVEH; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

11

But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

12

For thou wilt bless the righteous; O YAHUVEH, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield. Psalm 6 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith.
