Psalms 5

1 Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm of David. Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.

For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.

2 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.

Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.

3 For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.

In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.

4 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.

For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.

5 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.

Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

6 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.

You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.

7 But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.

But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear towards your holy temple.

8 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.

Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before your face.

9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain.

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.

10 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.

Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.

11 But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee:

But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell amongst them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.

12 For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.

For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favour.
