Psalms 5:2-9

²Listen to the voice of my supplication, my King and my God! For to thee do I address my prayer.

³In the morning shalt thou hear my voice, O LORD! In the morning will I address my prayer to thee, and look for help.

⁴For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; The unrighteous man dwelleth not with thee.

⁵The haughty shall not stand in thy sight; Thou hatest all that do iniquity.

⁶Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; The man of blood and deceit the LORD abhorreth.

⁷But I, through thy great goodness, will come to thy house; In thy fear will I worship at thy holy temple.

⁸Lead me, O LORD! in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies; Make thy path straight before my face!

⁹For in their mouth there is no truth; Their heart is malignity; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.
