Psalm 5

1For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits.

2Hearken to my words, O Lord,

Attend to my cry.

3Attend to the voice of my supplication,

My King, and my God:

For to thee, O Lord, will I pray.

4In the morning thou shalt hear my voice:

In the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.

5For thou art not a God that desires iniquity;

Neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.

6Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight:

Thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

7Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood:

The Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.

8But I will enter into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:

I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.

9Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;

Make my way plain before thy face.

10For there is no truth in their mouth;

Their heart is vain;

Their throat is an open sepulcher;

With their tongues they have used deceit.

11Judge them, O God;

Let them fail of their counsels:

Cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness;

For they have provoked thee, O Lord.

12But let all that trust on thee be glad in thee:

They shall exult forever, and thou shalt dwell among them;

And all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.

13For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous:

Thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favor.
