Psalm 5

^{Tools
1} To the Chief Musician, for flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation. ^{Tools
2} Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to You I will pray.

^{Tools
3} My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Jehovah; in the morning I will direct my prayer to You, and I will look up.

^{Tools
4} For You are not a God that enjoys wickedness; nor shall evil dwell with You. ^{Tools
5} The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all doers of iniquity. ^{Tools
6} You shall destroy those who speak lies; Jehovah will despise the bloody and deceitful man.

^{Tools
7} But I, in the abundance of Your grace, I will come into Your house; I will worship in Your fear toward Your holy temple. ^{Tools
8} Lead me, O Jehovah, in Your righteousness, because of my enemies; make Your way straight before my face.

^{Tools
9} For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is wickedness; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. ^{Tools
10} Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

^{Tools
11} But let all who put their trust in You rejoice; let them always shout for joy, because You defend them. And let those who love Your name be joyful in You. ^{Tools
12} For You; O Jehovah, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.
