Psalm 5 — The Holy Bible

For the End; concerning the inheritance; a psalm by David.

Give ear to my words, O Lord,

Hear my cry.

Give heed to the voice of my supplication,

My King and my God,

For to You will I pray, O Lord.

In the morning You shall hear my voice;

In the morning I will stand before You,

And I will watch.

For You are not a God who wills lawlessness,

Nor shall the evildoer dwell with You.

The lawless shall not stand before Your eyes;

You hate all the workers of lawlessness;

You shall destroy all who speak falsehood;

The Lord abhors the man of violence and deceit.

But as for me, in the fullness of Your mercy I will come into Your house;

In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.

Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;

Make straight Your way before me.

For there is no truth in their mouth;

Their heart is vain;

Their throat is an open grave;

They deal deceptively with their tongues.

Judge them, O God.

Let them fall by their false accusations;

Cast them out in the multitude of their ungodliness;

For they provoked You, O Lord.

But let all who hope in You be glad;

They will greatly rejoice forever,

For You will dwell in them;

And all who love Your name will boast in You.

For You will bless the righteous;

O Lord, You crowned us with the shield of Your goodwill.
