Psalms 5 NKJV

«

1. Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my meditation.

2. Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray.

3. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.

4. For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.

5. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.

6. You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

7. But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.

8. Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.

9. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.

10. Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.

11. But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.

12. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
