1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, <br /> consider my meditation. <br /> <br />2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, <br /> my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. <br /> <br />3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; <br /> in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. <br /> <br />4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: <br /> neither shall evil dwell with thee. <br /> <br />5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: <br /> thou hatest all workers of iniquity. <br /> <br />6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: <br /> the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. <br /> <br />7 But as for me, I will come into thy house <br /> in the multitude of thy mercy: <br /> and in thy fear will I worship <br /> toward thy holy temple. <br /> <br />8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness <br /> because of mine enemies; <br /> make thy way straight before my face. <br /> <br />9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; <br /> their inward part is very wickedness; <br /> their throat is an open sepulchre; <br /> they flatter with their tongue. <br /> <br />10 Destroy thou them, O God; <br /> let them fall by their own counsels; <br /> cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; <br /> for they have rebelled against thee. <br /> <br />11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: <br /> let them ever shout for joy, <br /> because thou defendest them: <br /> let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. <br /> <br />12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; <br /> with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. <br /> <br />(KJV)<br /><br />King David of Israel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-5-for-thou-lord-wilt-bless-the-righteous/
