Psalm 5:1-12

To the leader: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
1 Give ear to my words, O Lord;
    give heed to my sighing.
2 Listen to the sound of my cry,
    my King and my God,
    for to you I pray.
3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
    in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.

4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
    evil will not sojourn with you.
5 The boastful will not stand before your eyes;
    you hate all evildoers.
6 You destroy those who speak lies;
    the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.

7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
    will enter your house,
I will bow down toward your holy temple
    in awe of you.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
    because of my enemies;
    make your way straight before me.

9 For there is no truth in their mouths;
    their hearts are destruction;
their throats are open graves;
    they flatter with their tongues.
10 Make them bear their guilt, O God;
    let them fall by their own counsels;
because of their many transgressions cast them out,
    for they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
    let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
    so that those who love your name may exult in you.
12 For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
    you cover them with favor as with a shield.

Psummer of Psalms - Psalm 5

There is a popular expression we often use for something we perceive is so bad that we say "I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy." So I got to thinking, what *would* I wish upon my worst enemy then? Fortunately, there's a meme for that too. Here are the top ten things, according to the all-knowing internet, that most of us actually would wish upon our worst enemy.

  1. A long life full of tables with uneven legs.
  2. Seat back, food on lap, drink in hand...remote control across the room.
  3. The polite scorn of a Canadian.
  4. A pre-disposition to accidentally hitting "reply-all" on emails.
  5. Bountiful amounts of stray legos on the living room floor at midnight.
  6. Clamshell packaging on everything.
  7. The world's smallest water heater.
