Verba mea auribul.
A prayer to God against the iniquities of men.
5:1. Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm for
David.
For her that obtaineth the inheritance... That is, for the church of
Christ.
5:2. Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
5:3. Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
5:4. For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my
voice.
5:5. In the morning I will stand before thee, and I will see: because
thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5:6. Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust
abide before thy eyes.
5:7. Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that
speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
5:8. But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy
house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
5:9. Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct
my way in thy sight.
5:10. For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
5:11. Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with
their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices:
according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they
have provoked thee, O Lord.
5:12. But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for
ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name
shall glory in thee.
5:13. For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as
with a shield of thy good will.
