Psa 5:2 Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.

Psa 5:3 In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

Psa 5:4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You.

Psa 5:5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity.

Psa 5:6 You destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

Psa 5:7 But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.

Psa 5:8 O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me.

Psa 5:9 There is nothing reliable in what they say; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.

Psa 5:10 Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You.

Psa 5:11 But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You.

Psa 5:12 For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O Lord, You surround him with favor as with a shield.

Psa 38:1 O Lord, rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger.

Psa 38:2 For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me.

Psa 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

Psa 38:4 For my iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

Psa 38:5 My wounds grow foul and fester Because of my folly.

Psa 38:6 I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long.

Psa 38:7 For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh.

Psa 38:8 I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.

Psa 38:9 Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.

Psa 38:10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

Psa 38:11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.

Psa 38:12 Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long.

Psa 38:13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

Psa 38:14 Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.

Psa 38:15 For I hope in You, O Lord; You will answer, O Lord my God.

Psa 38:16 For I said, "May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me."

Psa 38:17 For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.

Psa 38:18 For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.

Psa 38:19 But my enemies are vigorous and strong, And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

Psa 38:20 And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good.

Psa 38:21 Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me!

Psa 38:22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!

Psa 41:1 How blessed is he who considers the helpless; The Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble.

Psa 41:2 The Lord will protect him and keep him alive, And he shall be called blessed upon the earth; And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies.

Psa 41:3 The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health.

Psa 41:4 As for me, I said, "O Lord, be gracious to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You."

Psa 41:5 My enemies speak evil against me, "When will he die, and his name perish?"

Psa 41:6 And when he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; When he goes outside, he tells it.

Psa 41:7 All who hate me whisper together against me; Against me they devise my hurt, saying,

Psa 41:8 "A wicked thing is poured out upon him, That when he lies down, he will not rise up again."

Psa 41:9 Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.

Psa 41:10 But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up, That I may repay them.

Psa 41:11 By this I know that You are pleased with me, Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

Psa 41:12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And You set me in Your presence forever.

Psa 41:13 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

Psa 42:1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God.

Psa 42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?

Psa 42:3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Psa 42:4 These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God, With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

Psa 42:5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence.

Psa 42:6 O my God, my soul is in despair within me; Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

Psa 42:7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.

Psa 42:8 The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life.

Psa 42:9 I will say to God my rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

Psa 42:10 As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Psa 42:11 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
