5:1 To the leader: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Lord; give heed to my sighing.
5:2 Listen to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
5:3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.
5:4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil will not sojourn with you.
5:5 The boastful will not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers.
5:6 You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.
5:7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house, I will bow down towards your holy temple in awe of you.
5:8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me.
5:9 For there is no truth in their mouths; their hearts are destruction; their throats are open graves; they flatter with their tongues.
5:10 Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of their many transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.
5:11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, so that those who love your name may exult in you.
5:12 For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover them with favour as with a shield.
