“1 <<To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.>> Give ear
to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 2 Hearken unto the voice of
my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 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. 4 For thou [art] not a God that
hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5 The
foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of
iniquity. 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will
abhor the bloody and deceitful man.”
“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. 8 Lead
me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way
straight before my face. 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. 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. 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. 12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour
wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield.” (Psalm 5:1-12 AV)
