Salmos 5

¹For the leader; with wind instruments. A psalm of David. I Hear my words, O LORD; listen to my sighing.

²Hear my cry for help, my king, my God! To you I pray, O LORD;

³at dawn you will hear my cry; at dawn I will plead before you and wait.

⁴II You are not a god who delights in evil; no wicked person finds refuge with you;

⁵the arrogant cannot stand before you. You hate all who do evil;

⁶you destroy all who speak falsely. Murderers and deceivers the LORD abhors.

⁷III But I can enter your house because of your great love. I can worship in your holy temple because of my reverence for you, LORD.

⁸Guide me in your justice because of my foes; make straight your way before me.

⁹IV For there is no sincerity in their mouths; their hearts are corrupt. Their throats are open graves; on their tongues are subtle lies.

¹⁰Declare them guilty, God; make them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many sins; they have rebelled against you.

¹¹V Then all who take refuge in you will be glad and forever shout for joy. Protect them that you may be the joy of those who love your name.

¹²For you, LORD, bless the just; you surround them with favor like a shield.
