Psalm 5
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inheriteth.
2 Hearken to my words, O Lord,
[1]attend to my cry.
3 Attend to the voice of my supplication,
my King, and my God:
for to thee, O Lord, will I pray.
4 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice:
in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.
5 For thou art not a God that desireth iniquity;
neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.
6 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight:
thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
7 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood:
the Lord abhorreth the bloody and deceitful man.
8 But I will enter into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:
I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.
9 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make my way plain before thy face.
10 [2]For there is no truth in their mouth;
their heart is vain;
their throat is an open sepulchre;
with their tongues they have used deceit.
11 Judge them, O God;
let them [3]fail of their counsels:
cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness;
for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
12 But let all that trust on thee be glad in thee:
they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them;
and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.
13 For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous:
thou hast [4]compassed us as with a shield of favour.
