Psalms 5:3-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. At daybreak, Lord, You hear my voice;at daybreak I plead my case to You and watch expectantly.

4. For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;evil cannot dwell with You.

5. The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all evildoers.

6. You destroy those who tell lies; the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery.

7. But I enter Your houseby the abundance of Your faithful love; I bow down toward Your holy templein reverential awe of You.

8. Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my adversaries; make Your way straight before me.

9. For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them;their throat is an open grave;they flatter with their tongues.

10. Punish them, God;let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes,for they rebel against You.

11. But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them shout for joy forever.May You shelter them, and may those who love Your name boast about You.

12. For You, Lord, bless the righteous one;You surround him with favor like a shield.
