Psalms 5
For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O LORD;consider my groaning.2Attend to the sound of my cry,my King and my God,for to You I pray.
3In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice;at daybreak I lay my plea before Youand wait in expectation.
4For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;no evil can dwell with You.5The boastful cannot stand in Your presence;You hate all workers of iniquity.6You destroy those who tell lies;the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7But I will enter Your houseby the abundance of Your loving devotion;1in reverence I will bow downtoward Your holy temple.
8Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousnessbecause of my enemies;make straight Your way before me.9For not a word they speak can be trusted;destruction lies within them.Their throats are open graves;their tongues practice deceit.2
10Declare them guilty, O God;let them fall by their own devices.Drive them out for their many transgressions,for they have rebelled against You.
