Psalm 5
Lead Me in Your Righteousness
5For the choir director. For 1the flutes. A Psalm of David.
aGive ear to my words, O Yahweh,Consider my bmeditation.2Give heed to athe sound of my cry for help, bmy King and my God,For to You I pray.3O Yahweh, in the morning, 1You will hear my voice;In the amorning I will order my 2prayer to You and eagerly bwatch.4For You are not a God awho delights in wickedness;bEvil does not sojourn with You.5The aboastful shall not bstand before Your eyes;You chate all workers of iniquity.6You adestroy those who speak falsehood;Yahweh abhors bthe man of bloodshed and deceit.7But as for me, ain the abundance of Your lovingkindness I will enter Your house,1At Your holy temple I will bworship in cfear of You.8O Yahweh, alead me bin Your righteousness cbecause of 1my foes;Make Your way 2straight before me.9There is anothing 1reliable in their mouth;Their binward part is destruction itself.Their cthroat is an open grave;They 2flatter with their tongue.10Hold them guilty, O God;aBy their own devices let them fall!In the abundance of their transgressions bthrust them out,For they are crebellious against You.11But let all who atake refuge in You bbe glad,Let them ever sing for joy;And 1may You cshelter them,That those who dlove Your name may exult in You.12For it is You who ablesses the righteous one, O Yahweh,You bsurround him with favor as with a large shield.
