Psalms 5 : 1 - 12
Chapter 5
| 1 | Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my meditation.
|
| 2 | Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray.
|
| 3 | My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
|
| 4 | For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.
|
| 5 | The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.
|
| 6 | You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
|
| 7 | But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
|
| 8 | Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.
|
| 9 | For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.
|
| 10 | Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.
|
| 11 | But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.
|
| 12 | For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
