Psalms 5
King James Version

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.​
