5:1 For the music director, to be accompanied by wind instruments; a psalm of David. Listen to what I say, LORD! Carefully consider my complaint!
5:2 Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I am praying to you!
5:3 LORD, in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer.
5:4 Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you.
5:5 Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.
5:6 You destroy liars; the LORD despises violent and deceitful people.
5:7 But as for me, because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house; I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you.
5:8 LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of those who wait to ambush me, remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me!
5:9 For they do not speak the truth; their stomachs are like the place of destruction, their throats like an open grave, their tongues like a steep slope leading into it.
5:10 Condemn them, O God! May their own schemes be their downfall! Drive them away because of their many acts of insurrection, for they have rebelled against you.
5:11 But may all who take shelter in you be happy! May they continually shout for joy! Shelter them so that those who are loyal to you may rejoice!
5:12 Certainly you reward the godly, LORD. Like a shield you protect them in your good favor.
