Psalm 5 (Rejoice in You)

Give ear to my words, O LORD

Please hear my spirit groaning

Listen to the sound of my cry

To You, my God and King

In the morning, You’ll hear my voice as I offer my prayer

And I will watch for Your answer in eager expectation

For You are not a god who delights in sin

No evil dwells with You

And the prideful shall not stand

For You despise evil men

But as for me, I’ll come into Your house

Covered by Your abundant mercy

And in fear of You I’ll lay face down

Before Your throne in grateful worship

Oh, lead me in Your ways

Make Your path before me straight

Protect me from my enemies who attack me night and day

For their mouths are full of lies

And their hearts are wickedness

Their throats are an open grave

They trick many with their tongues

Convict them, O God

Let their rebellion lead to their fall

But for Your church, I pray

I pray

Let all who trust in You be glad

Let them sing for joy all of their lives

For You guard them on every side

Let those in You rejoice in You

Surely You will bless Your own

You’ll defend them with Your steadfast love

With a shield the enemy can’t touch

Let those in You rejoice in You

For our enemies are strong, but You have overcome

So let Your people all over the earth exult in You
