Psalm 5: He discerns why you groan in pleasure or anger and rant against enemies and encompasses, blesses and accepts you. 

1: To the chief musician – for flutes. A David melody.

To my words cause to give the ear Yehoweh.

Discern my groaning (pleasure, anger, musings, predominating thoughts).

2: Cause to pay attention to my distress cry (SOS), my King and my God.

For to You I will make myself pray myself.

3: Yehoweh in the morning You hear my voice

In the morning I line up and peer for you at the viewpoint.

4: For not a lawlessness (rasha)-favouring God are You,

nor does trouble (ra’a)  sojourn with You.

5: The hollerers (hallel) do not make themselves present themselves in Your eyes. You hate workers of futile sin(Aven).

6: You annihilate lie-speakers, a bloody deceitful man You abhor, Yehoweh.

7: And I, in Your great loving kindness, come to Your House, I prostrate on Your Holy Temple in fear of You.

8: Yehoweh, lead me on your righteousness for the sake of my hostile opposers.

Cause to lead my face in Your Way.

9: For there is no affirmative in their mouths, their gut is mischief, their throat an opened grave, they cause division with their tongues.

10: Cause them to be guilty, God, by their own counsels.

Cause them to be banished in their great rebellion-sins for they were embittered by You.

11: And rejoice all who take refuge in You, forever sing.

And You cover them and they, lovers of Your Name, exult in You.

12: For You bless the righteous, Yehoweh, like a shield.

With acceptance You crown (encompass) Him.  

Prayer: Lord, we know You love and accept us even when You see us groaning deep and predominant gut emotions – both pleasure and pain. You listen to our rants and requests about those who bully or oppose us. Thank You for undeservedly covering, blessing and accepting us –  notwithstanding who we are, warts and all! Amen.
