| Morning Prayer. Psalm 5 | |||
| 1 | Give ear to my words, O Yahweh; give heed to my groaning. | ||
| 2 | Hearken to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. | ||
| 3 | O Yahweh, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you, and watch. | ||
| 4 | For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not sojourn with you. | ||
| 5 | The boastful may not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. | ||
| 6 | You destroy those who speak lies; Yahweh abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men. | ||
| 7 | But I through the abundance of your steadfast love will enter your house, I will worship toward your holy temple in the fear of you. | ||
| 8 | Lead me, O Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me. | ||
| 9 | For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is destruction, their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue. | ||
| 10 | Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of their many transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you. | ||
| 11 | But let all who take refuge in you rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; and you defend them, that those who love your name may exult in you. | ||
| 12 | But you bless the righteous, O Yahweh; you cover him with favour as with a shield. | ||
