Psalms 5:1-12

JuliaSmith(i) 1 To the overseer of the pipes; chanting of David. Give ear to my sayings, O Jehovah; attend to my cry. 2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King and my God: for to thee will I pray. 3 O Jehovah, the morning thou wilt hear my voice; the morning I will set in order to thee, and I will look about. 4 For thou not a God delighting in injustice: and evil shall not dwell with thee. 5 The foolish shall not stand before thine eyes: thou hatedst all working vanity. 6 Thou shalt destroy those speaking falsehood: a man of bloods and deceit Jehovah will abhor. 7 And I in the multitude of thy mercy will come into thy house; I will worship to thy holy temple in thy fear. 8 O Jehovah, guide me into thy justice, for sake of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 9 Not steadfast in his mouth; the midst of them mischiefs; their throat a grave opened; they will be smooth with their tongue, 10 Punish them, O God: they shall fall by their counsels; in the multitude of their transgressions thrust them down, for they rebelled against thee. 11 And all they putting trust in thee shall rejoice forever: they shall shout for joy, and thou wilt cover over them: and they loving thy name shall exult in thee. 12 For thou wilt bless the just, O Jehovah: thou wilt surround him with favor as a shield
