Psalms 5:4-12

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.

¹⁰Requite them, O God! Let them be confounded in their devices; Cast them out for the multitude of their transgressions; For against thee have they rebelled!

¹¹But let all, that put their trust in thee, rejoice; Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; Let them, that love thy name, be joyful in thee!

¹²For thou, O LORD! dost bless the righteous; With favor dost thou encompass him, as with a shield.
