For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits.

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

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

5:3 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.

5:4 For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.

5:5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.

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

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

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

5:9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; 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 thee, O Lord.

5:11 But let all that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.

5:12 For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favour.

To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.

5:1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

5:7 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.

5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

5:9 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.

5:10 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.

5:11 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.

5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
