Psalms 5

1. (Ps 5:1) Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2. (Ps 5:2) Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3. (Ps 5:3) 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. (Ps 5:4) For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5. (Ps 5:5) The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6. (Ps 5:6) Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7. (Ps 5:7) 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. (Ps 5:8) Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9. (Ps 5:9) 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. (Ps 5:10) 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. (Ps 5:11) 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. (Ps 5:12) For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
