5:1 LORD, listen to my words, consider my groaning.
5:2 Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for unto you will I pray.
5:3 LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I will pray to you, and I will watch for your answer.
5:4 Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you.
5:5 Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness.
5:6 You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the person of bloodshed and deceit.
5:7 But I, because of the abundance of your gracious love, may come into your house. In awe of you, I will worship in your holy Temple.
5:8 LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your path straight before me.
5:9 But as for the wicked, they do not speak truth at all. Inside them there is only wickedness. Their throat is an open grave, on their tongue is deceitful flattery.
5:10 Declare them guilty, God! Let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them away because of their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
5:11 Let all those who take refuge in you rejoice! Let them shout for joy forever, and may you protect them. Let those who love your name exult in you.
5:12 Indeed, you will bless the righteous one, LORD, like a large shield, you will surround him with favor.
