Prayer Based on Psalm 5

O Lord,
Give ear to my words; 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 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 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 sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
O God, hold me fast in truth and guard my heart from deceit.

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, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt Thou compass him as with a shield.

In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
