5:1  To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Lord; give heed to my groaning.
5:2  Hearken to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to thee do I pray.
5:3  O Lord, in the morning thou dost hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee, and watch.
5:4  For thou art not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not sojourn with thee.
5:5  The boastful may not stand before thy eyes; thou hatest all evildoers.
5:6  Thou destroyest those who speak lies; the Lord abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men.
5:7  But I through the abundance of thy steadfast love will enter thy house, I will worship toward thy holy temple in the fear of thee.
5:8  Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of my enemies; make thy way straight before me.
5:9  For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is destruction, their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue.
5:10  Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of their many transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against thee.
5:11  But let all who take refuge in thee rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; and do thou defend them, that those who love thy name may exult in thee.
5:12  For thou dost bless the righteous, O Lord; thou dost cover him with favor as with a shield.
