Psalm 5

1. Part.
O Lord unto my words give ear,
My meditation weigh:
My King my God my crying hear,
For I to thee will pray.
I'th morning thou shalt hear my Cry,
I'th morning I'l direct
My prayer to thee, and from on high
Thine answer I'l expect.
For thou art not a God that will
With sinne delighted bee,
No wickednesse nor any ill
Shall ever dwell with thee.
Within the view of thy pure Eye,
The foolish shall not rest:
All workers of iniquitie
Thy Nature doth detest.
Thou shalt destroy them that are prone
To utter tales and lies:
God will abhorre the bloudy one,
And such as fraud devise.
But to thy house will I draw neer,
In thine abundant grace:
And worship in thy sacred fear,
Towards thy holy place.

2. Part.
LOrd in thy justice be my guide,
Because of all my foes:
Thy paths (lest I should goe aside)
Before my face disclose.
For in their mouths no faithfulness,
Nor truth have any room:
Their inward parts meer wickedness,
Their throat an open tomb.
They flatter with dissembling tongue,
O God destroy them all,
By their own counsels going wrong,
Let them be sure to fall:
Cast out in their iniquitie,
And multitudes of sin;
For lo they have rebelliously
Offended thee therein.
But let them all that trust in thee,
And love thy holy Name;
Since they by thee defended bee,
Be joyfull in the same.
For gladness let them ever shout,
For thou wilt blessings yeeld,
And guard the Righteous round about
With favour as a Shield
