Psalms 124:1-5
1
If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—
2
if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3
they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;
4
the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5
the raging waters would have swept us away.

Psalms 5
1
Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.
2
Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3
In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
4
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.
5
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
6
you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.
7
But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.
8
Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.
9
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.
10
Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12
Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
