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