Psalm 5

A prayer for protection

To the chief musician with wind instruments. A psalm of David

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 sepulcher;
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 favor wilt
thou compass him as with a shield.
