Psalm 5

To the chief Musician upon *Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.

1  Give ear to my words, O Lord,

Consider my ameditation.

2  Hearken unto the voice of my cry, aamy King, and my God:

For bunto thee will I pray.

3  My voice shalt thou hear cin the morning, O Lord;

In the morning will I direct dmy prayer unto thee, and will elook up.

4  For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:

Neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5  The ffoolish shall not stand †in thy sight:

Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6  Thou shalt destroy them that speak gleasing:

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 ggwill I worship htoward †thy holy temple.

8  iLead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of †mine enemies;

jMake thy way straight before my face.

9  For there is no ||faithfulness †in their mouth;

jjTheir inward part is †very wickedness;

kTheir throat is lan open sepulchre;

mThey 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 nall those that put their trust in thee orejoice:

Let them ever shout for joy, because †thou defendest them:

Let them also that love thy name pbe joyful in thee.

12  For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous;

With favour wilt thou †compass him qas with a shield.
