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 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 Psalms be joyful in thee. |
| 12 |
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt
thou compass him as with a shield. |
