5:1  For the music director, on the wind instruments, a psalm of David.
5:2  Hear my words, Adonai, consider my groaning.
5:3  Listen to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to you.
5:4  Adonai, in the morning You hear my voice. In the morning I order my prayer before You and watch expectantly.
5:5  For You are not a God who rejoices in evil. No wickedness dwells with you.
5:6  Braggarts will not stand before your eyes. You hate all wrongdoers.
5:7  You destroy those who speak falsehood. A person of bloodshed and deceit Adonai detests.
5:8  But because of your great lovingkindness, I will enter Your House. I will bow toward Your holy Temple, in awe of You.
5:9  Lead me, Adonai, in Your righteousness, because of my enemies. Make Your path straight before me.
5:10  For nothing upright is in their mouth. Inside them is a ruin—their throat an open grave. They flatter with their tongue.
5:11  Declare them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own schemes. Banish them because of their many transgressions— for they have rebelled against You.
5:12  But let all who take refuge in You rejoice! Let them always shout for joy! You will shelter them and they exult—those who love Your Name.
5:13  For You bless the righteous, Adonai. You surround him with favor as a shield.
