Psalm 5 — Psalms 5:4–10

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight:
Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies:
Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house:
In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
Make thy way straight before my face.

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.

Hold them guilty, O God;
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
For they have rebelled against thee.
