Prayer for Divine Help Lyrics

Psalm five

Give ear to my words, O Lord

Consider my meditation

Hearken unto the voice of my cry

My King and my God

For unto Thee will I pray

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O Lord

In the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee

And I will look up

For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness

Neither shall evil dwell with Thee

The foolish shall not stand in Thy sight

Thou hatest all workers of iniquity

Thou shalt destroy them that speak in leasing

The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man

But as for me, I will come into Thy house

In the multitude of Thy mercy

And in Thy fear will I worship toward Thy holy temple

Lead me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness

Because of mine enemies

Make Thy way straight before my face

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth

Their inward part is very wickedness

Their throat is an open sepulcher

They flatter with their tongue

Destroy Thou them, O God

Let them fall by their own counsels

Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions

For they have rebelled against Thee

But let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice

Let them ever shout for joy because Thou defendest them

Let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee

For Thou, Lord, will bless the righteous

With favor wilt Thou compass him as with the shield
