Psalm 5. Verba mea auribus.

1. PONDER my words, O Lord, *
   consider my meditation.
2. O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling, my King and my God: *
   for unto thee will I make my prayer.
3. My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O Lord; *
   early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4. For thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wickedness; *
   neither shall any evil dwell with thee.
5. Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight; *
   for thou hatest all them that work iniquity.
6. Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: *
   the Lord will abhor both the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7. But as for me, in the multitude of thy mercy I will come into thine house; *
   and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8. Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies; *
   make thy way plain before my face.
9. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; *
   their inward parts are very wickedness.
10. Their throat is an open sepulchre; *
    they flatter with their tongue.
11. Destroy thou them, O God; let them perish through their own imaginations; *
    cast them out in the multitude of their ungodliness; for they have rebelled against thee.
12. And let all them that put their trust in thee rejoice: *
    they shall ever be giving of thanks, because thou defendest them; they that love thy Name shall be joyful in thee;
13. For thou, Lord, wilt give thy blessing unto the righteous, *
    and with thy favourable kindness wilt thou defend him as with a shield.
