5:1 For the Music Director. With the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my meditation.
5:2 Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You will I pray.
5:3 O Lord, in the morning You will hear my voice; in the morning I will direct my prayer to You, and I will watch expectantly.
5:4 For You are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness, nor will evil dwell with You.
5:5 Those who boast will not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.
5:6 You will destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
5:7 But as for me, in the abundance of Your mercy I will enter Your house; in fear of You I will worship at Your holy temple.
5:8 Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way straight before me.
5:9 For there is no uprightness in their mouth; destruction is in their midst; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue.
5:10 Declare them guilty, O God; may they fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
5:11 But may all those who seek refuge in You rejoice; may they ever shout for joy, because You defend them; may those who love Your name be joyful in You.
5:12 For You, Lord, will bless the righteous; You surround him with favor like a shield.
