Psalm 5 NIV1984
5 Give ear to my words, O Lord,
    consider my sighing.
2 Listen to my cry for help,
    my King and my God,
    for to you I pray.
3 In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait in expectation.
4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;
    with you the wicked cannot dwell.
5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence;
    you hate all who do wrong.
6 You destroy those who tell lies;
    bloodthirsty and deceitful men
    the Lord abhors.
7 But I, by your great mercy,
    will come into your house;
in reverence will I bow down
    toward your holy temple.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
    because of my enemies—
    make straight your way before me.
9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with destruction.
Their throat is an open grave;
    with their tongue they speak deceit.
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
    for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12 For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous;
    you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
