Chapter 5

Just men in affliction appeal to God, the revenger of injuries, ℣.5 knowing and professing that God hateth iniquity. ℣.9 Therefore remit their cause to him, ℣.11 recite certain enormous vices of the wicked, ℣.13 and expect God's final judgement of good and bad.

1. 1

   Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. The Psalm of David.

2. 2

   Receive, o Lord my words with thine ears, understand my cry.

3. 3

   Attend to the voice of my prayer, my King and my God.

4. 4

   Because I will pray to thee: Lord in the morning thou wilt hear my voice.

5. 5

   In the morning I will stand by thee and will see: because thou art not a God that wilt iniquity.

6. 6

   Neither shall the malignant dwell near thee: neither shall the unjust abide before thine eyes.

7. 7

   Thou hatest all that work iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that speak lie. The bloody and deceitful man our Lord will abhor:

8. 8

   But I in the multitude of thy mercy. I will enter into thy house: I will adore toward thy holy temple in thy fear.

9. 9

   Lord conduct me in thy justice: because of mine enemies direct my way in thy sight.

10. 10

    Because there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.

11. 11

    Their throat is an open sepulchre, they did deceitfully with their tongues, judge them o God. Let them fail of their cogitations, according to the multitude of their impieties expel them, because they have provoked thee o Lord.

12. 12

    And let all be glad, that hope in thee, they shall rejoice for ever: and thou shalt dwell in them. And all that love thy name shall glory in thee,

13. 13

    because thou wilt bless the just. Lord, as with a shield of thy good will, thou hast crowned us.
