5:1  Hear my words, O Lord. Think about my crying.
5:2  Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God. For I pray to you.
5:3  In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my prayers before You and will look up.
5:4  You are not a God Who is pleased with what is bad. The sinful cannot be with You.
5:5  The proud cannot stand before You. You hate all who do wrong.
5:6  You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord hates liars and men who kill other people.
5:7  But as for me, by Your great loving-kindness, I will come into Your house. At Your holy house I will put my face to the ground before You in love and fear.
5:8  O Lord, lead me in what is right and good, because of the ones who hate me. Make Your way straight in front of me.
5:9  For in their talk there is no truth. Their hearts destroy. Their mouths are like an open grave. With their tongues, they say sweet-sounding words that are not true.
5:10  Hold them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own plans. Throw them out because of their many sins. For they have fought against You.
5:11  But let all who put their trust in You be glad. Let them sing with joy forever. You make a covering for them, that all who love Your name may be glad in You.
5:12  For You will make those happy who do what is right, O Lord. You will cover them all around with Your favor.
