                       Give Ear Unto My Words, O Lord
                               Psalm 5


1.   Give ear unto my words, O Lord, my meditation weigh; Hear my loud cry,
     my King, my God, for I to Thee will pray. Lord, Thou shalt early hear my
     voice; I early will direct My prayer to Thee, and looking up, an answer will
     expect.

2.   For Thou art not a God who dost in wickedness delight; No evil shall abide
     with Thee, nor fools stand in Thy sight. All evildoers Thou dost hate, cut
     off shall liars be; The bloody and deceitful man abhorred is by Thee.

3.   But I into Thy house will come in Thy abundant grace; And I will worship
     in Thy fear toward Thy holy place. Because of watch ful enemies, O lead
     me by Thy grace, And in Thy righteousness, Thy way make straight before
     my face.

4.   Let all who trust in Thee be glad, in shouts their praise proclaim; Thou
     savest them; let all rejoice who love Thy holy name. For Lord, unto the
     righteous man Thou wilt Thy bless ing yield; With favor Thou wilt
     compass him about as with a shield.
