Psalms 5 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider
my meditation. Harken unto the voice of my cry,
my King and my God, for unto thee will I pray.
My voice shout thou here in the morning, O Lord,
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee,
and will look up. For thou art not a God that
hath pleasure in wickedness. Neither shall evil
dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand
in thy sight. Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing. The
Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
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. Lead me, O
Lord, in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies.
Make thy way straight. before my face. For there
is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward
part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open
sepulcher. They flatter with their tongue. 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. 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. For thou, Lord,
wilt bless the righteous. With favor wilt thou
compass him as with a shield.
