Psalms 5


font

1For the leader; with wind instruments. A psalm of David.2Hear my words, O LORD; listen to my sighing.3Hear my cry for help, my king, my God! To you I pray, O LORD;4at dawn you will hear my cry; at dawn I will plead before you and wait.5You are not a god who delights in evil; no wicked person finds refuge with you;6the arrogant cannot stand before you. You hate all who do evil;7you destroy all who speak falsely. Murderers and deceivers the LORD abhors.8But I can enter your house because of your great love. I can worship in your holy temple because of my reverence for you, LORD.9Guide me in your justice because of my foes; make straight your way before me.10For there is no sincerity in their mouths; their hearts are corrupt. Their throats are open graves; on their tongues are subtle lies.11Declare them guilty, God; make them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many sins; they have rebelled against you.12Then 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.13For you, LORD, bless the just; you surround them with favor like a shield.
