| 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. |
