RSV Psalms 5 Chapter
5:1
To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD;give heed to my groaning.
5:2
Hearken to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to thee do I pray.
5:3
O LORD, in the morning thou dost hear my voice;in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee, and watch.
5:4
For thou art not a God who delights in wickedness;evil may not sojourn with thee.
5:5
The boastful may not stand before thy eyes;thou hatest all evildoers.
5:6
Thou destroyest those who speak lies;the LORD abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men.
5:7
But I through the abundance of thy steadfast love will enter thy house, I will worship toward thy holy temple in the fear of thee.
5:8
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of my enemies;make thy way straight before me.
5:9
For there is no truth in their mouth;their heart is destruction, their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue.
5:10
Make them bear their guilt, O God;let them fall by their own counsels;because of their many transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against thee.
5:11
But let all who take refuge in thee rejoice, let them ever sing for joy;and do thou defend them, that those who love thy name may exult in thee.
5:12
For thou dost bless the righteous, O LORD;thou dost cover him with favor as with a shield.
