Psalm 5

 5 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7 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.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

9 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.

10 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.

11 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.

12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Prayer : 

Abba Father 

I lift my voice to You, the Almighty King and my God. In the morning, I come before You with my prayers, seeking Your guidance and mercy. Hear my words, O Lord, and consider the meditations of my heart.

You are a God of righteousness, and evil has no place in Your presence. I acknowledge Your holiness and stand against the works of iniquity. May I, in reverence and fear, worship You in Your holy temple, relying on Your abundant mercy.

Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness. Straighten my path, especially when faced with enemies and challenges. Shield me with Your favor and protection as I navigate through the difficulties of life.

I pray against deceit and wickedness, asking that those who speak falsehood and engage in harm be dealt with according to their own counsels. May their transgressions be cast out, for they rebel against You.

For those who put their trust in You, Lord, I pray for joy and rejoicing. You defend those who seek refuge in You, and I find comfort in Your steadfast love. Bless the righteous, O Lord, and surround them with Your favor as with a shield.

In Jesus' name, I pray.

Amen.
