Psalms 5

1

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

2

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto you will I pray.

3

My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up.

4

For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.

5

The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.

6

You shall destroy them that speak falsehood: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7

But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.

8

Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face.

9

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is pure wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10

Destroy them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.

11

But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.

12

For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor will you surround him with a shield.
