Psalms - Chapter 5

Passage

To the end, for her that obtains the inheritance. A psalm for David. Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry. Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God. For to you will I pray: O Lord, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will stand before you, and I will see: because you are not a God that willest iniquity. Neither shall the wicked dwell near you: nor shall the unjust abide before your eyes. You hate all the workers of iniquity: you will destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor. But as for me in the multitude of your mercy, I will come into your house; I will worship towards your holy temple, in your fear. Conduct me, O Lord, in your justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight. For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain. Their throat is an open tomb: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they have provoked you, O Lord. But let all them be glad that hope in you: they shall rejoice for ever, and you shall dwell in them. And all they that love your name shall glory in you. For you will bless the just. O Lord, you have crowned us, as with a shield of your good will.
