PSALM 5
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician, upon Nehiloth,
A Psalm of David.
1Give ear unto my words, O Lord,
my meditation weigh.
2Hear my loud cry, my King, my God;
for I to thee will pray.
3Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice:
I early will direct
My pray'r to thee; and, looking up,
an answer will expect.
4For thou art not a God that doth
in wickedness delight;
Neither shall evil dwell with thee,
5Nor fools stand in thy sight.
All that ill-doers are thou hat'st;
6Cutt'st off that liars be:
The bloody and deceitful man
abhorred is by thee.
7But I into thy house will come
in thine abundant grace;
And I will worship in thy fear
toward thy holy place.
8Because of those mine enemies,
Lord, in thy righteousness
Do thou me lead; do thou thy way
make straight before my face.
9For in their mouth there is no truth,
their inward part is ill;
Their throat's an open sepulchre,
their tongue doth flatter still.
10O God, destroy them; let them be
by their own counsel quell'd:
Them for their many sins cast out,
for they 'gainst thee rebell'd.
11But let all joy that trust in thee,
and still make shouting noise;
For them thou sav'st; let all that love
thy name in thee rejoice.
12For, Lord, unto the righteous man
thou wilt thy blessing yield:
With favour thou wilt compass him
about, as with a shield.

Psalms 5
5
PSALM 5.
1Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance: a psalm of David.
2Give ear, O Lord, to my words: understand my cry.
3Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
4For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
5In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
6Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
7Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor:
8But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house: I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
9Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
10For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
11Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
12But let all them be glad that hope in thee; they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee.
13For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
