Psalms Chapter 5

1aTo the choirmaster in singing set to wind instruments.↑

A Psalm of David.

1bO Lord, listen to my words;

Consider my meditation.

2Hearken to my call of crying out,

O my king and my God,

For to you I pray.

3O Lord, you hear my voice in the morning;

In the morning I will marshal my thoughts to you

And keep watch.

4For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;

No evil dwells in you.

5Those who boast shall not stand in your sight;

You hate all who are engaged in iniquity.

6You will destroy those who speak falsehood;

The Lord abhors the man of blood and deceit.

7But as for me, I will go to your house in the abundance of your kindness;

I will worship facing your holy temple

In fear of you.

8Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness

On account of my adversaries;

Make your way straight ahead of me.

9For there is no rectitude in his mouth;

Their inner heart consists of lusts.

Their throat is an open sepulchre;

They flatter with their tongue.

10Condemn them, O God,

Let them fall by their own plans.

Drive them out for the multitude of their transgressions,

For they have rebelled against you.

11Then all who put their trust in you will rejoice;

They will shout for joy age-abidingly,

And you will protect them,

And those who love your name

Will exult in you.

12For you, O Lord, will bless the righteous man;

You will surround him with delight like a shield.
