Psalm 5The Refuge of the Righteous
|
|
|
|
1. Listen to my words, Lord;
|
|
consider my sighing.
|
|
|
|
2. Pay attention to the sound of my cry,
|
|
my King and my God,
|
|
for I pray to you.
|
|
|
|
3. In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
|
|
in the morning I plead my case to you and watch expectantly.
|
|
|
|
4. For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
|
|
evil cannot dwell with you.
|
|
|
|
5. The boastful cannot stand in your sight;
|
|
you hate all evildoers.
|
|
|
|
6. You destroy those who tell lies;
|
|
the Lord abhors violent and treacherous people.
|
|
|
|
7. But I enter your house
|
|
by the abundance of your faithful love;
|
|
I bow down toward your holy temple
|
|
in reverential awe of you.
|
|
|
|
8. Lord, lead me in your righteousness
|
|
because of my adversaries;
|
|
make your way straight before me.
|
|
|
|
9. For there is nothing reliable in what they say;
|
|
destruction is within them;
|
|
their throat is an open grave;
|
|
they flatter with their tongues.
|
|
|
|
10. Punish them, God;
|
|
let them fall by their own schemes.
|
|
Drive them out because of their many crimes,
|
|
for they rebel against you.
|
|
|
|
11. But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
|
|
let them shout for joy forever.
|
|
May you shelter them,
|
|
and may those who love your name boast about you.
|
|
|
|
12. For you, Lord, bless the righteous one;
|
|
you surround him with favor like a shield.
