Psalm 5

Vers 1

Give ear unto my words, O Lord,
my meditation weigh.
Hear my loud cry, my King, my God;
for I to thee will pray.

Vers 2

Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice:
I early will direct
My pray’r to thee; and, looking up,
an answer will expect.

Vers 3

For thou art not a God that doth
in wickedness delight;
Neither shall evil dwell with thee,
Nor fools stand in thy sight.

Vers 4

All that ill-doers are thou hat’st;
Cutt’st off that liars be:
The bloody and deceitful man
abhorred is by thee.

Vers 5

But I into thy house will come
in thine abundant grace;
And I will worship in thy fear
toward thy holy place.

Vers 6

Because of those mine enemies,
Lord, in thy righteousness
Do thou me lead; do thou thy way
make straight before my face.

Vers 7

For in their mouth there is no truth,
their inward part is ill;
Their throat’s an open sepulchre,
their tongue doth flatter still.

Vers 8

O God, destroy them; let them be
by their own counsel quell’d:
Them for their many sins cast out,
for they ’gainst thee rebell’d.

Vers 9

But let all joy that trust in thee,
and still make shouting noise;
For them thou sav’st; let all that love
thy name in thee rejoice.

Vers 10

For, Lord, unto the righteous man
thou wilt thy blessing yield:
With favour thou wilt compass him
about, as with a shield.
