Chapter 5
|
1
|
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. |
2
|
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God:
for unto thee will I pray. |
3
|
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in
the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will
look up. |
4
|
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with thee. |
5
|
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest
all workers of iniquity. |
6
|
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD
will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. |
7
|
But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude
of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy
holy temple. |
8
|
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine
enemies; make thy way straight before my face. |
9
|
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their
inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open
sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. |
10
|
Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own
counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
for they have rebelled against thee. |
11
|
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice:
let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:
let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. |
12
|
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour
wilt thou compass him as with a shield. |
