Trust in God for Deliverance from Enemies -Psalms 5
Give ear to my words, O LORD;
give heed to my groaning.
Listen to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to you do I pray.
O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you, and watch.
For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not sojourn with you.
The boastful may not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.
You destroy those who speak lies;
the LORD abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men.
But I through the abundance of your merciful love
will enter your house,
I will worship toward your holy temple
in the fear of you.
Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
make your way straight before me.
For there is no truth in their mouth;
their heart is destruction,
their throat is an open sepulchre,
they flatter with their tongue.
Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of their many transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice,
let them ever sing for joy;
and do defend them,
that those who love your name may exult in you.
For you bless the righteous, O LORD;
you cover him with favor as with a shield.
