5
For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits.
1 Hearken to my words, O Lord, * Lit. understand. attend to my cry.
2 Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to thee, O Lord, will I pray.
3 In the morning thou shalt hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.
5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
6 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But I will enter into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy temple.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make my way plain before thy face.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their ✡ Rom 3. 13. throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
10 Judge them, O God; let them † Gr. fall from, or, by reason of. fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
11 But let all that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.
12 For thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast ‡ Lit. crowned. compassed us as with a shield of favour.
