Psalm 5

Ponder my words, O Lord *

consider my meditation

O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling, my King, and my God *

for unto thee will I make my prayer.

My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O Lord *

early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

For thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wickedness *

neither shall any evil dwell with thee.

Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight *

for thou hatest all them that work vanity.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing *

the Lord will abhor both the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into thine house, even upon the multitude of thy mercy *

and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies *

make thy way plain before my face.
