5:1 To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give
ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
5:2 Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to
thee will I pray.
5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
morning will I direct [my prayer] to thee, and will look up.
5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
workers of iniquity.
5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: the LORD will
abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
5:7 But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude
of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship towards thy holy
temple.
5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness, because of my
enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
5:9 For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward
part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulcher;
they flatter with their tongue.
5:10 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.
5:11 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.
5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt
thou compass him as [with] a shield.
