Psalm 5: 1-12

1. {{To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.}} Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
2. Hearken into the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto Thee will I pray.
3. My voice shalt Thou hearing 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 lies: 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 counsils; 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 will bless the righteous: with favor wilt Thou compass him as {with} a shield.
