5:1 A Prayer for Guidance
To the Chief Musician. With flutes. A Psalm of David.
Give ear to my words, O LORD,Consider my meditation. 2 Give heed to the voice of my cry,My King and my God,For to You I will pray. 3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD;In the morning I will direct it to You,And I will look up.
4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,Nor shall evil dwell with You. 5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;You hate all workers of iniquity. 6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. 8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;Make Your way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;Their inward part is destruction;Their throat is an open tomb;They flatter with their tongue. 10 Pronounce them guilty, O God!Let them fall by their own counsels;Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,For they have rebelled against You.
11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. 12 For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous;With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

recorded for your spiritual enrichment by vanderKOK
6:1 A Prayer of Faith in Time of Distress
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.
O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger,Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure. 2 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak;O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled. 3 My soul also is greatly troubled;But You, O LORD — how long?
4 Return, O LORD, deliver me!Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake! 5 For in death there is no remembrance of You;In the grave who will give You thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning;All night I make my bed swim;I drench my couch with my tears. 7 My eye wastes away because of grief;It grows old because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. 9 The LORD has heard my supplication;The LORD will receive my prayer. 10 Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
NKJV
