• Lead Me in Your Righteousness

    To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.

    5

     Give ear to my words, O Lord;
       consider my groaning.
    2 Give attention to the sound of my cry,
       my King and my God,
       for to you do I pray.
    3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
       in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you[a] and watch.

    4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
    evil may not dwell with you.
    5 The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;
    you hate all evildoers.
    6 You destroy those who speak lies;
    the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

    7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
    will enter your house.
    I will bow down toward your holy temple
    in the fear of you.
    8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
    because of my enemies;
    make your way straight before me.

    9 For there is no truth in their mouth;
    their inmost self is destruction;
    their throat is an open grave;
    they flatter with their tongue.
    10 Make them bear their guilt, O God;
    let them fall by their own counsels;
    because of the abundance of their 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 spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name may exult in you.
    12 For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
    you cover him with favor as with a shield.
