Ps 5
1
For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. - Hearken to my words,
O Lord, Lit. understand attend to my cry.
2
Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will
I pray.
3
In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will
look up.
4
For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness
dwell with you.
5
Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them
that work iniquity.
6
You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful
man.
7
But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in
your fear toward your holy temple.
8
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; their Ro 3:13 throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they
have used deceit.
10
Judge them, O God; let them 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.
11
But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall
dwell among them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.
12
For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have Lit. crowned compassed us as with a shield of favour.
