Psalms 5

5
To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O Lord;
give heed to my groaning.
2Hearken to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to thee do I pray.
3O Lord, in the morning thou dost hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee, and watch.
4For thou art not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not sojourn with thee.
5The boastful may not stand before thy eyes;
thou hatest all evildoers.
6Thou destroyest those who speak lies;
the Lord abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men.
7But I through the abundance of thy steadfast love
will enter thy house,
I will worship toward thy holy temple
in the fear of thee.
8Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness
because of my enemies;
make thy way straight before me.
9 # Rom 3.13. For there is no truth in their mouth;
their heart is destruction,
their throat is an open sepulchre,
they flatter with their tongue.
10Make 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.
11But 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.
12For thou dost bless the righteous, O Lord;
thou dost cover him with favor as with a shield.
