PSALM 5
To the chief Musician upon
Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.
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 bloodya and deceitful man.
7But as
for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and
in thy fear will I worship toward thy holyb 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 faithfulnessc
in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is
an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 10 Destroyd
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 defendeste them: let them also that love thy
name be joyful in thee. 12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the
righteous; with favour wilt thou compassf him as with a
shield.
