The Book of Psalms, Chapter 5
|
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 bloody and deceitful man.
|
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 |
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.
|
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 |
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 |
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 |
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou
compass him as with a shield.
