Psalm 5
5
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.
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 my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4For thou art 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 into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:
And 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 there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is very wickedness;
Their throat is 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 with a shield.

A Prayer for Guidance
To the Chief Musician. With flutes. A Psalm of David.
1Give #Ps. 4:1ear to my words, O Lord,
Consider my meditation.
2Give heed to the voice of my cry,
My King and my God,
For to You I will pray.
3My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
#Ps. 55:17; 88:13In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.
4For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil dwell with You.
5The #(Hab. 1:13)boastful shall not #Ps. 1:5stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
6You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the #Ps. 55:23bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
8#Ps. 25:4, 5; 27:11; 31:3Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
#Rom. 3:13Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
10Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.
11But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
12For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
