Psalms 5
1Listen to my words, O Lord, + 5:1 Lit. understand. attend to my cry. 1
2Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray. 1
3In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up. 1
4For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you. 1
5Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity. 1
6You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man. 1
7But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear towards your holy temple. 1
8Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make my way plain before your face. 1
9For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their + 5:9 Rom 3:13 throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit. 1
10Judge them, O God; let them + 5:10 Gr. fall from, or, by reason of. fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord. 1
11But 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. 1
12For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have + 5:12 Lit. crowned. compassed us as with a shield of favour.
