Psalms 5:2-9 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

2. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee do I pray.

3. O Lord, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

4. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil shall not sojourn with thee.

5. The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6. Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the Lord abhorreth the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

7. But as for me, in the multitude of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: 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 part is very wickedness: their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
