5 O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. 2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you. 3 Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. 4 O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked. 5 Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil. 6 You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers. 7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe. 8 Lead me in the right path, O LORD, Make your way plain for me to follow. 9 My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their tongues are filled with flattery. 10 O God, declare them guilty. for they have rebelled against you. 11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; that all who love your name may be filled with joy. 12 For you bless the godly, O LORD; you surround them with your shield of love.
