n°19 / Psalms 5 :

1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God : for unto thee will I pray.
3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD ; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness : neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight : thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing : the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7But 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.
8Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies ; make thy way straight before my face.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth ; their inward part is very wickedness ; their throat is an open sepulchre ; they flatter with their tongue.
10Destroy 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.
11But 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.
12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous ; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
