Psalms - Chapter 5

Psalms 5.1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Psalms 5.2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. Psalms 5.3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. Psalms 5.4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. Psalms 5.5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Psalms 5.6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. Psalms 5.7 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. Psalms 5.9 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. Psalms 5.10 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. Psalms 5.11 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. Psalms 5.12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
