Psalm 5

The Refuge of the Righteous

For the choir director: with the flutes. A psalm of David.

¹Listen to my words, Lord;
consider my sighing.^(A)
²Pay attention to the sound of my cry,^(B)
my King and my God,^(C)
for I pray to you.

³In the morning,^(D) Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you^(E) and watch expectantly.

⁴For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil cannot dwell with you.^(F)
⁵The boastful cannot stand in your sight;^(G)
you hate all evildoers.^(H)
⁶You destroy those who tell lies;^(I)
the Lord abhors violent and treacherous people.^(J)
