Psalm 5

1. 1

   To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

2. 2

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

3. 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. 4

   For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5. 5

   The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6. 6

   Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7. 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. 8

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

9. 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. 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. 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. 12

    For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
