1.4 KiB
Psalm 5
- O LORD, hear me as I pray;
pay attention to my groaning.
- Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God,
for I pray to no one but you.
- Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
- O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness;
you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.
- Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence,
for you hate all who do evil.
-
You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers.
-
Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house;
I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.
- Lead me in the right path, O LORD,
or my enemies will conquer me.
Make your way plain for me to follow.
- My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery.
- O God, declare them guilty.
Let them be caught in their own traps.
Drive them away because of their many sins,
for they have rebelled against you.
- But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them sing joyful praises forever.
Spread your protection over them,
that all who love your name may be filled with joy.
- For you bless the godly, O LORD;
you surround them with your shield of love.
