Psalm
5

To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A
Psalm of David.

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.
