Psalms 5:1-8

¹To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my meditation.

²Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: For unto thee will I pray.

³My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

⁴For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Neither shall evil dwell with thee.

⁵The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

⁶Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

⁷But 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.

⁸Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.
