5:2 Give ear, O Lord, to my words * understand my cry.
5:3 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, * O my King and my God.
5:4 For to thee will I pray: * O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
5:5 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: * because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5:6 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: * nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
5:7a Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: * thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie.
5:7b The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor. * (8a) But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy,
5:8b I will come into thy house; * I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
5:9 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: * because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
5:10 For there is no truth in their mouth: * their heart is vain.
5:11a Their throat is an open sepulchre: † they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: * judge them, O God.
5:11b Let them fall from their devices: † according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: * for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
5:12a But let all them be glad that hope in thee: * they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them.
5:12b And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee: * (13a) For thou wilt bless the just.
5:13b O Lord, thou hast crowned us, * as with a shield of thy good will.
