1Escucha, oh Jehová, mis palabras; Considera mi gemir.
2Está atento a la voz de mi clamor, Rey mío y Dios mío, Porque a ti oraré.
3Oh Jehová, de mañana oirás mi voz; De mañana me presentaré delante de ti, y esperaré.
4Porque tú no eres un Dios que se complace en la maldad; El malo no habitará junto a ti.
5Los insensatos no estarán delante de tus ojos; Aborreces a todos los que hacen iniquidad.
6Destruirás a los que hablan mentira; Al hombre sanguinario y engañador abominará Jehová.
7Mas yo por la abundancia de tu misericordia entraré en tu casa; Adoraré hacia tu santo templo en tu temor.
8Guíame, Jehová, en tu justicia, a causa de mis enemigos; Endereza delante de mí tu camino.
9Porque en la boca de ellos no hay sinceridad; Sus entrañas son maldad, Sepulcro abierto es su garganta, Con su lengua hablan lisonjas.
10Castígalos, oh Dios; Caigan por sus mismos consejos; Por la multitud de sus transgresiones échalos fuera, Porque se rebelaron contra ti.
11Pero alégrense todos los que en ti confían; Den voces de júbilo para siempre, porque tú los defiendes; En ti se regocijen los que aman tu nombre.
12Porque tú, oh Jehová, bendecirás al justo; Como con un escudo lo rodearás de tu favor.

Ps 5 This morning prayer (5:3) expresses unwavering confidence in the Lord’s help and protection. The psalmist asks for and awaits God’s response (5:1-3). He describes the schemes of the wicked in detail but does not get lost in his circumstances. The psalmist also knows that the wicked cannot coexist with God (5:4-6, 9; see 1:5). He keeps returning to the Lord (5:7-8, 10; see 5:1-3), and then he prays for the godly community (5:10-12; see 3:8).
5:1-2 The request hear me appears in several prayers as a call for God’s attention during a time of trouble (39:12; 84:8; 143:1), as does pay attention (17:1; 54:2; 130:2). The needy ask their God, “Are you listening?”

5:8 God guides those who are obedient, submissive, and patient in waiting for him to lead, provide, and protect them (27:11; 43:3; 143:10), not those who expect God simply to endorse their own decisions. • Following the right path of wisdom leads to the Lord (27:11; 61:2; 139:24).

5:11 A blessing rests on all who take refuge in God (see 18:30). • Joy and praise make good companions. The godly rejoice when they see evidence of God’s rescue. They sing joyful praises as a new song (see 33:3). When the Lord restores peace to this world, puts down evil, and rewards the righteous, they will have lasting joy (9:2-4; 53:6; 90:14-15; 118:24). • The children of God, who find refuge in him, love his name. To love his name is to love his very character.
