          DASV: Psalm 5    

For the music director, for the flutes. A psalm of David.

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD,
     consider my groaning.
2 Pay attention to my cry for help,
     my King and my God,
           for I pray to you.
3 O LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice;
     in the morning I will bring my case to you,
          and eagerly watch.

4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness,
     evil cannot dwell with you.
5 The arrogant cannot stand before your eyes;
     you hate all who do evil.
6 You will destroy those who speak lies;
     the LORD detests those who are violent and deceitful.

7 But as for me, by the abundance of your loyal love,
     I will enter your house.
      I will worship toward your holy temple
          in reverence of you.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness
     because of my enemies;
      make your way straight before me.

9 For there is no truth in their mouths,
     their hearts desire destruction,
     their throats are an open grave,
     their tongues speak deceptive flattery.
10 Hold them guilty, O God,
     let them fall by their own schemes;
      because of their many sins, throw them out,
     for they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice;
     let them always shout for joy.
     Spread your protection over them,
     so that those who love your name may be joyful in you.
12 For you will bless the righteous, O LORD;
     you will encircle him with favor as with a shield.
