Psalms 5

A Prayer for Protection

₁Listen to my words, O LORD,

and hear my sighs.

₂Listen to my cry for help,

my God and king!

I pray to you, O LORD;

₃you hear my voice in the morning;

at sunrise I offer my prayer

and wait for your answer.

₄You are not a God who is pleased with wrongdoing;

you allow no evil in your presence.

₅You cannot stand the sight of the proud;

you hate all wicked people.

₆You destroy all liars

and despise violent, deceitful people.

₇But because of your great love

I can come into your house;

I can worship in your holy Temple

and bow down to you in reverence.

₈LORD, I have so many enemies!

Lead me to do your will;

make your way plain for me to follow.

₉What my enemies say can never be trusted;

they only want to destroy.

Their words are flattering and smooth,

but full of deadly deceit.

₁₀Condemn and punish them, O God;

may their own plots cause their ruin.

Drive them out of your presence

because of their many sins

and their rebellion against you.

₁₁But all who find safety in you will rejoice;

they can always sing for joy.

Protect those who love you;

because of you they are truly happy.

₁₂You bless those who obey you, LORD;

your love protects them like a shield.
