Psalms 5
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)
2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee do I pray.
3 In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.
O LORD, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.
4 For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the LORD abhorreth the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear toward your holy temple.
But as for me, in the multitude of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before your face.
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way plain before my face.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
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 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.
Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell among them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.
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 you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favor.
For thou wilt bless the righteous; O LORD, thou wilt compass him with favour as with a shield.
