Psalms 5

1Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm for David.● 2Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.● 3Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.● 4For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.● 5In the morning I will stand before thee, and I will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.● 6Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.● 7Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.● 8But 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.● 9Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.● 10For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.● 11Their 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 wickednesses cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.● 12But 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.● 13For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.●
