Psalms 5:1-8:9

5:1  Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for
unto thee will I pray.

5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
workers of iniquity.

5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will
abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

5:7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude
of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple.

5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine
enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward
part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre;
they flatter with their tongue.

5:10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own
counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their
transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let
them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them
also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt
thou compass him as with a shield.

6:1  O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal
me; for my bones are vexed.

6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies'
sake.

6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave
who shall give thee thanks?

6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to
swim; I water my couch with my tears.

6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because
of all mine enemies.

6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD
hath heard the voice of my weeping.

6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive
my prayer.

6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them
return and be ashamed suddenly.

7:1  O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces,
while there is none to deliver.

7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in
my hands;

7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him
tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the
dust. Selah.

7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of
the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment
that thou hast commanded.

7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:
for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according
to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is
in me.

7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but
establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and
reins.

7:10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the
wicked every day.

7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his
bow, and made it ready.

7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he
ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
which he made.

7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his
violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and
will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

8:1  O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the
enemy and the avenger.

8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the
moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of
man, that thou visitest him?

8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
hast crowned him with glory and honour.

8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy
hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and
whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the
earth!
