| Chapter 5 |
| 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. |
