V. Incline thine ears O Lord, and let

1 Incline thine ears, O Lord, and let
my words have free access
To thee, who art my God and King,
from whom I seek redress.

2 Hear me betimes, Lord, tarry not,
for I will have respect
My supplication in the morn
to thee for to direct.

3 And I will patiently still trust
in thee, my God, alone;
Thou art not pleas'd with wickedness,
and ill with thee dwells none.

4 Such as be foolish shall not stand
in sight of thee, O Lord;
Vain workers of iniquity
thou hast always abhorr'd.

5 The lyars and base flatterers
shall be destroy'd by thee,
Blood-thirsty and deceitful men
likewise shall hated be.

6 Therefore will I come to thy house,
trusting upon thy grace,
And rev'rently will worship thee
towards thy holy place.

7 Lord, lead me in thy righteousness,
for to confound my foes;
Also the way that I should walk
before my face disclose:

8 For in their mouths there is no truth,
their inward filth is great,
Their throat an open sepulchre,
and tongues full of deceit.

9 Destroy their false conspiracies,
that they may come to naught;
Subvert them in their heaps of sin,
who have rebellion wrought;

10 But those that put their trust in thee,
let them be glad always,
And render thanks for thy defence,
and give thy name the praise

11 For thou with favour wilt encrease
the just and righteous still,
And with thy grace, as with a shield,
defend him from all ill.
