Psalm 5B: Psalm 5

Aberystwyth, 77.77.D. [E]

1. ¹ O Jehovah, hear my words;
        To my thoughts attentive be.
² Hear my cry, my King, my God,
        For I make my prayer to Thee.
³ With the morning light, O LORD,
Thou shalt hear my voice and cry;
        In the morn my prayer arrange
And keep constant watch will I.

2. ⁴ Truly Thou art not a God
        That in sin doth take delight;
Evil shall not dwell with Thee
        ⁵ Nor the proud stand in Thy sight.
Evil doers Thou dost hate;
        ⁶ Liars Thou wilt bring to naught.
GOD abhors the man who loves
        Deed of blood or lying thought.

3. ⁷ But in Thine abundant grace
        To Thy house will I repair;
Looking to Thy holy place,
        In Thy fear I'll worship there.
⁸ Since, O LORD, mine enemies,
        For my soul do lie in wait,
Lead me in Thy righteousness;
        Make Thy way before me straight.

4. ⁹ For they flatter with their tongue;
        In their mouth no truth is found;
Like an open grave their throat;
        All their thoughts with sin abound.
¹⁰ Hold them guilty, O my God;
        Them for all their sins expel;
Let them fall by their own craft,
        For against Thee they rebel.

5. ¹¹ But let all that trust Thy care
        Ever glad and joyful be;
Let them joy who love Thy name,
        For they guarded are by Thee.
¹² And a blessing rich, O LORD,
        To the righteous Thou wilt yield;
Thou wilt compass him about
        With Thy favor as a shield.
