Psalm No. 5

1. Ponder my | words O | Lord : con|sider my | medi|tation.
2. O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling, my | King and my | God : for unto | thee will I | make my | prayer.
3. My voice shalt thou hear be|times O | Lord : early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee | and will | look | up.
4. For thou art the God that hast no | pleasure in | wickedness : neither shall any | evil | dwell with | thee.
5. Such as be foolish shall not | stand in thy | sight : for thou | hatest all | them that work | vanity.
6. Thou shalt destroy | them that speak | leasing : the Lord will abhor both the bloodthirsty | and de|ceitful | man.
(2nd part) 7. But as for me I will come into thine house, even upon the multitude of | thy | mercy : and in thy fear will I worship | towards thy | holy | temple.
8. Lead me O Lord in thy righteousness, be|cause of mine | enemies : make thy way | plain be|fore my | face.
9. For there is no faithfulness | in his | mouth : their inward | parts are | very | wickedness.
10. Their throat is an | open | sepulchre : they | flatter | with their | tongue.
11. Destroy thou them O God, let them perish through their own i|magi|nations : cast them out in the multitude of their ungodliness, for | they have re|belled a|gainst thee.
12. And let all them that put their trust in | thee re|joice : they shall ever be giving of thenks because thou defendest them, they that love thy Name | shall be | joyful in | thee;
13. For thou Lod wilt give thy blessing | unto the | righteous : and with thy faverourable kindness wilt thou de|fend him | as with a | shield.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the | Son : and | to the | Holy | Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now and | ever | shall be : world without | end. | A|men.
