CHAPTER 5

For the choirmaster,

to be accompanied by

flutes.

A Psalm

of David.

Give ear

to my words,

O LORD;

consider

my groaning.

Attend to

the sound

of my cry,

my King

and my God,

for

to You

I pray.

In the morning,

O LORD,

You hear

my voice;

at daybreak

I lay my plea

before You

and wait in expectation.

For

You

are not

a God

who delights

in wickedness;

no

evil

can dwell with You.

The boastful

cannot

stand

in Your presence;

You hate

all

workers

of iniquity.

You destroy

those who tell

lies;

the LORD

abhors

the man

of bloodshed

and deceit.

But I,

by the abundance

of Your loving devotion,

will enter

Your house;

in reverence

I will bow down

toward

Your holy

temple.

Lead me,

O LORD,

in Your righteousness

because of

my enemies;

make straight

Your way

before me.

For

not a word

they speak

can be trusted;

destruction

is within them.

Their throats

are open

graves;

their tongues

practice flattery.

Declare them guilty,

O God;

let them fall

by their own devices.

Drive them out

for their many

transgressions,

for

they have rebelled against You.

But let all

who take refuge

in You

rejoice;

let them ever shout for joy.

May You shelter

them,

that those who love

Your name

may rejoice

in You.

For surely

You,

O LORD,

bless

the righteous;

You surround them

with the shield

of your favor.
