Psalms 5Book 19 of 66 · 12 verses · MBT primary, NKJV fallback where MBT pending

1. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2. Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray.
3. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.
4. For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You.
5. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.
6. You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7. But as for me, I will come into Your house in the abundance of Your steadfast love; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
8. Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before me.
9. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.
10. Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.
11. But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name be joyful in You.
12. For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
