Psalm 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
thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning
will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither
shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers
of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor
the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But 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.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is
very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their
tongue.
10 Destroy 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.
11 But 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.
12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou
compass him as with a shield.
