AB - Psalms - 5

5:1  Hearken to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.

5:2  Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God; for to You, O Lord, will I pray.

5:3  In the morning You shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon You, and will look up.

5:4  For You are not a God that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with You.

5:5  Neither shall the transgressors continue in Your sight. You hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

5:6  You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.

5:7  But I will enter into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; I will worship in Your fear toward Your holy temple.

5:8  Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make my way plain before Your face.

5:9  For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have used deceit.

5:10  Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked You, O Lord.

5:11  But let all that trust in You be glad in You: they shall rejoice forever, and You shall dwell among them; and all that love Your name shall rejoice in You.

5:12  For You, O Lord, shall bless the righteous: You have compassed us as with a shield of favor.
