CHAP. V.

1 Dauid prayeth, and professeth his studie in prayer. 4 God fauoureth not the wicked. 7 Dauid professing his faith, prayeth vnto God, to guide him, 10 To destroy his enemies, 11 and to preserue the godly.

Dauids prayer.

¹ [To the chiefe musician vpon Nehiloth, A Psalme of Dauid.] Giue eare to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

² Hearken vnto the voice of my crie, my King, and my God: for vnto thee will I pray.

³ My voyce shalt thou heare in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer vnto thee, and will looke vp.³

⁴ For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickednesse: neither shall euill dwell with thee.

⁵ The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest al workers of iniquity⁵

⁶ Thou shalt destroy them that speake leasing: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie and deceitfull man.⁶

⁷ But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy feare will I worship toward thy holy temple.⁷

⁸ Lead me O Lord, in thy righteousnesse, because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.⁸

⁹ For there is no faithfulnes in their mouth, their inward part is very wickednesse: their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue.⁹

¹⁰ Destroy thou them, O God, let them fall by their owne counsels: cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they haue rebelled against thee.¹⁰

¹¹ But let all those that put their trust in thee, reioyce: let them euer shout for ioy; because thou defendest them: let them also that loue thy name, be ioyfull in thee.¹¹

¹² For thou, Lord, wilt blesse the righteous: with fauour wilt thou compasse him as with a shield.¹²
