Psalm 5

Christian Standard Bible

³ In the morning,^(D) Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you^(E) and watch expectantly.

⁴ For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil cannot dwell with you.^(F)
5 The boastful cannot stand in your sight;^(G)
you hate all evildoers.^(H)
6 You destroy those who tell lies;^(I)
the Lord abhors violent and treacherous people.^(J)

⁷ But I enter your house
by the abundance of your faithful love;^(K)
I bow down toward your holy temple
in reverential awe of you.^(L)
8 Lord, lead me in your righteousness^(M)
because of my adversaries;
make your way straight before me.^(N)

⁹ For there is nothing reliable in what they say;^(O)
destruction is within them;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongues.^(P)
10 Punish them, God;
let them fall by their own schemes.^(Q)
Drive them out^(R) because of their many crimes,
for they rebel against you.^(S)

¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;^(T)
let them shout for joy forever.
May you shelter them,^(U)
and may those who love your name boast about you.^(V)
12 For you, Lord, bless the righteous one;
you surround him with favor like a shield.^(W)
