Psalms 5 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 5
1Unto the end. For her who pursues the inheritance. A Psalm of David.
2O Lord, listen closely to my words. Understand my outcry.
3Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.
4For to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.
5In the morning, I will stand before you, and I will see. For you are not a God who wills iniquity.
6And the malicious will not dwell close to you, nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.
7You hate all who work iniquity. You will destroy all who speak a lie. The bloody and deceitful man, the Lord will abominate.
8But I am in the multitude of your mercy. I will enter your house. I will show adoration toward your holy temple, in your fear.
9Lord, lead me in your justice. Because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.
10For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
11Their 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.
12But 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.
13For you will bless the just. You have crowned us, O Lord, as if with a shield of your good will.
Psalms 5
1Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
