Psalms 5
1
Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.
2
Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3
In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
4
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.
5
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
6
you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.
7
But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.
8
Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.
9
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.
10
Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12
Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Psalms 6
1
LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint; heal me, LORD, for my bones are in agony.
3
My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?
4
Turn, LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.
5
Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from the grave?
6
I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
7
My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
8
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping.
9
The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
10
All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
