Psalm 5
12 verses · King James Version
1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct unto thee, and will look up.4For thou not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.7But as for me, I will come thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.8Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.9For no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part very wickedness; their throat an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.10Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.11But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as a shield.
