【Psalms】Psalm 5 << Last Chapter Next Chapter >>

5:1 For the leader; with wind instruments. A psalm of David.I

5:2 Hear my words, O LORD; listen to my sighing.

5:3 Hear my cry for help, my king, my God! To you I pray, O LORD;

5:4 at dawn you will hear my cry; at dawn I will plead before you and wait.II

5:5 You are not a god who delights in evil; no wicked person finds refuge withyou;

5:6 the arrogant cannot stand before you. You hate all who do evil;

5:7 you destroy all who speak falsely. Murderers and deceivers the LORD abhors.III

5:8 But I can enter your house because of your great love. I can worship in yourholy temple because of my reverence for you, LORD.

5:9 Guide me in your justice because of my foes; make straight your way beforeme.IV

5:10 For there is no sincerity in their mouths; their hearts are corrupt. Theirthroats are open graves; on their tongues are subtle lies.

5:11 Declare them guilty, God; make them fall by their own devices. Drive themout for their many sins; they have rebelled against you.V

5:12 Then all who take refuge in you will be glad and forever shout for joy.Protect them that you may be the joy of those who love your name.

5:13 For you, LORD, bless the just; you surround them with favor like a shield.
