Psalms 5 from Scroll 4Q83 Psalmsa 8 Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face. 9 For[1] there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue. 10 Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you. 11 But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you. 12 For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.

I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you. 8 Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face. 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue. 10 Hold them guilty, God.

translation to the left is based on the World English Bible. Words in regular
black font are words in the scrolls matching the traditional text for that
passage. • Words
in italics cannot be seen in the scroll, since the scroll is
fragmentary. These words are supplied for readability by the World English
Bible translation. • Words

translated into multiple English words, and when this occurs, all the English
words are in blue. • Words

meaning are in green like this: green. This
is common in Hebrew. • If
