Psalm Five
Give ear to my words, O LORD,
Consider my meditation.
Give heed to the voice of my cry,
My King and my God,
For to You I will pray.
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD;
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.
For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.

![](https://www.angelfire.com/tx4/jesusfirst/heavensgates/heavensgatestars2.jpg) You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
![](https://www.angelfire.com/tx4/jesusfirst/heavensgates/heavensgatestars2.jpg) But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
![](https://www.angelfire.com/tx4/jesusfirst/heavensgates/heavensgatestars2.jpg) Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.
![](https://www.angelfire.com/tx4/jesusfirst/heavensgates/heavensgatestars2.jpg) For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
![](https://www.angelfire.com/tx4/jesusfirst/heavensgates/heavensgatestars2.jpg) Pronounce 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.
![](https://www.angelfire.com/tx4/jesusfirst/heavensgates/heavensgatestars2.jpg) But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You
defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
![](https://www.angelfire.com/tx4/jesusfirst/heavensgates/heavensgatestars2.jpg) For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
