## Psalm 5 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Unto the end. For her who pursues the inheritance. A Psalm of David.
2. O Lord, listen closely to my words. Understand my outcry.
3. Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.
4. For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.
5. In the morning, I will stand before you, and I will see. For you are not a God who wills iniquity.
6. And the malicious will not dwell close to you, nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.
7. You hate all who work iniquity. You will destroy all who speak a lie. The bloody and deceitful man, the Lord will abominate.
8. But I am in the multitude of your mercy. I will enter your house. I will show adoration toward your holy temple, in your fear.
9. Lord, lead me in your justice. Because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.
10. For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
11. Their throat is an open sepulcher. They have acted deceitfully with their tongues. Judge them, O God. Let them fall by their own intentions: according to the multitude of their impiety, expel them. For they have provoked you, O Lord.
12. But let all those who hope in you rejoice. They will exult in eternity, and you will dwell in them. And all those who love your name will glory in you.
13. For you will bless the just. You have crowned us, O Lord, as if with a shield of your good will.

## Psalm 5 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. In finem, pro ea quæ hæreditatem consequitur. Psalmus David.
2. Verba mea auribus percipe, Domine; intellige clamorem meum.
3. Intende voci orationis meæ, rex meus et Deus meus.
4. Quoniam ad te orabo, Domine: mane exaudies vocem meam.
5. Mane astabo tibi, et videbo quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es.
6. Neque habitabit juxta te malignus, neque permanebunt injusti ante oculos tuos.
7. Odisti omnes qui operantur iniquitatem; perdes omnes qui loquuntur mendacium. Virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus.
8. Ego autem in multitudine misericordiæ tuæ introibo in domum tuam; adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum in timore tuo.
9. Domine, deduc me in justitia tua: propter inimicos meos dirige in conspectu tuo viam meam.
10. Quoniam non est in ore eorum veritas; cor eorum vanum est.
11. Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum; linguis suis dolose agebant: judica illos, Deus. Decidant a cogitationibus suis; secundum multitudinem impietatum eorum expelle eos, quoniam irritaverunt te, Domine.
12. Et lætentur omnes qui sperant in te; in æternum exsultabunt, et habitabis in eis. Et gloriabuntur in te omnes qui diligunt nomen tuum,
13. quoniam tu benedices justo. Domine, ut scuto bonæ voluntatis tuæ coronasti nos.
