 |
| |
| | Psa 5:1 | Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing.
| |
| | Psa 5:2 | Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
| |
| | Psa 5:3 | In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
| |
| | Psa 5:4 | You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.
| |
| | Psa 5:5 | The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.
| |
| | Psa 5:6 | You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors.
| |
| | Psa 5:7 | But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.
| |
| | Psa 5:8 | Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies-- make straight your way before me.
| |
| | Psa 5:9 | Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.
| |
| | Psa 5:10 | Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
| |
| | Psa 5:11 | But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
| |
| | Psa 5:12 | For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
