Psalm 5

To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.

¹ Give ear to my words, O Lord;

    consider my groaning.

² Give attention to the sound of my cry,

    my King and my God,

    for to you do I pray.

³ O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;

    in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.

⁴ For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;

    evil may not dwell with you.

⁵ The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;

    you hate all evildoers.

⁶ You destroy those who speak lies;

    the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

⁷ But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,

    will enter your house.

  I will bow down toward your holy temple

    in the fear of you.

⁸ Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness

    because of my enemies;

    make your way straight before me.

⁹ For there is no truth in their mouth;

    their inmost self is destruction;

  their throat is an open grave;

    they flatter with their tongue.

¹⁰ Make them bear their guilt, O God;

    let them fall by their own counsels;

   because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,

    for they have rebelled against you.

¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;

    let them ever sing for joy,

   and spread your protection over them,

    that those who love your name may exult in you.

¹² For you bless the righteous, O Lord;

    you cover him with favor as with a shield.
