Psalms:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Give ear to my words ,
O LORD ,
Consider my meditation .
*
Give heed to the voice of my cry ,
My King and my God ,
For to You I will pray .
*
My voice You shall hear in the morning ,
O LORD ;
In the morning I will direct it to You ,
And I will look up .
*
For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness ,
Nor shall evil dwell with You .
*
The boastful shall not stand in Your sight ;
You hate all workers of iniquity .
*
You shall destroy those who speak falsehood ;
The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man .
*
But as for me ,
I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy ;
In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple .
*
Lead me ,
O LORD ,
in Your righteousness because of my enemies ;
Make Your way straight before my face .
*
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth ;
Their inward part is destruction ;
Their throat is an open tomb ;
They flatter with their tongue .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For You ,
O LORD ,
will bless the righteous ;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield .
