Psalms 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end. For her who pursues the inheritance. A Psalm of David.	1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 O Lord, listen closely to my words. Understand my outcry.	2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.	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 to you, I will pray. In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice.	4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 In the morning, I will stand before you, and I will see. For you are not a God who wills iniquity.	5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 And the malicious will not dwell close to you, nor will the unjust endure before your eyes.	6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 You hate all who work iniquity. You will destroy all who speak a lie. The bloody and deceitful man, the Lord will abominate.	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 But I am in the multitude of your mercy. I will enter your house. I will show adoration toward your holy temple, in your fear.	8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 Lord, lead me in your justice. Because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.	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.
10 For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.	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 Their throat is an open sepulcher. They have acted deceitfully with their tongues. Judge them, O God. Let them fall by their own intentions: according to the multitude of their impiety, expel them. For they have provoked you, O Lord.	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 But let all those who hope in you rejoice. They will exult in eternity, and you will dwell in them. And all those who love your name will glory in you.	12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
13 For you will bless the just. You have crowned us, O Lord, as if with a shield of your good will.
