Psalm 5

Prayer for Protection from the Wicked.

For the music director; for flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David.

1Listen to my words, Lord,

Consider my sighing.

2Listen to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,

For to You I pray.

3In the morning, Lord, You will hear my voice;

In the morning I will present my prayer to You and be on the watch.

4For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;

No evil can dwell with You.

5The boastful will not stand before Your eyes;

You hate all who do injustice.

6You destroy those who speak lies;

The Lord loathes the person of bloodshed and deceit.
