5:1 For the director. With flutes. A psalm of David.
5:2 Listen to my words, O Lord; pay heed to my sighs.
5:3 Hear my cry for help, my King and my God; for to you I pray.
5:4 O Lord, at daybreak you hear my voice; at daybreak I bring my petition before you and await your reply.
5:5 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot remain in your presence.
5:6 The arrogant shrink before your gaze; you hate all who do evil.
5:7 You destroy all who tell lies; the Lord detests the violent and the deceitful.
5:8 But I will enter your house because of your great kindness, and I will bow down in your holy temple, filled with awe of you.
5:9 Lead me in your ways of righteousness, O Lord, for I am surrounded by enemies; make your path straight before me.
5:10 For there is nothing trustworthy in their mouth; their heart devises treacherous schemes. Their throat is a wide open grave; with their tongue they utter flattery.
5:11 Punish them, O God; may their intrigues result in their downfall. Cast them out because of their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
5:12 But may all who take refuge in you rejoice; may they shout for joy forever. Grant them your protection so that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
5:13 Truly, you bless the righteous, O Lord; you surround them with your goodwill as with a shield.
