Psalms 5
1 To the Chanter in Nehiloth, a Psalm of David. Hear my words (O LORD) consider my calling.
2 O mark the voice of my petition, my King and my God, for unto thee will I make my prayer.
3 Hear my voice by times (O LORD) for early in the morning will I get me unto thee, yea and that with diligence.
4 For thou art not the God that hath pleasure in wickedness, there may no ungodly person dwell with thee.
5 Such as be cruel may not stand in thy sight, thou art an enemy unto all wicked doers.
6 Thou destroyest the liars: the LORD abhoreth the bloodthirsty and deceitful.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house, even upon 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, and make thy way plain before me.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouths: they dissemble in their hearts: their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they deceive.
10 Punish them (O God) that they may perish in their own imaginations: cast them out because of the multitude of their ungodliness, for they rebel against thee.
11 Again, let all them that put their trust in thee, rejoice: yea let them ever be giving of thanks, because thou defendest them: that they which love thy name, may be joyful in thee.
12 For thou LORD givest thy blessing unto the righteous: and with thy favourable kindness thou defendest him, as with a shield.
