King James VersionPsalms5

Psalms

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.
