Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous

Psalm 5:1-12
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickednesswith you, evil people are not welcome. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
But I, by your great lovecan come into your house in reverence, I bow down toward your holy temple. 
Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me
But let all who take refuge in you be gladlet them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. 
Surely, Lord, you bless the righteousyou surround them with your favor as with a shield. 
Beset by men who lie and flatter while they plot his downfall, the psalmist appeals to the God who loathes every semblance of evil, the Defence and the Rewarder of the good. This is the God he will worship and serve.
Why?
God is righteousness who hate evil and like who obey his word.
Make your way straight before me, Help me and let my way could be easy and with righteousness.
Let all who take refuge in you be glad, for all of us following the Lord with faith.

v1:顧念我的心思  一般的表達
v3:陳明我的心意   特別的述說
v3:並要警醒
  很可能被誣告,毀約、抹黑。
進入神的居所是沒有資格的,所以憑神豐盛的慈愛。我雖然指控敵人的攻擊,我有比別人好嗎?我的作法是存敬畏的心進去,與神面對面,只有如此態度,謙卑。
向神下拜後,我要能行公義正直的路,而不是去攻擊別人。這是謙卑的禱告。
v11 大衛憑信心禱告。不是求神去滅掉敵人,求神保守護衛他。四面的盾牌,完整的保護。

How?
Praise the Lord for God is full of love and righteousness.
