Psalms 4:7 - Psalms 5:8
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

Psalms 5
Intro: God favoreth not the wicked. (To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.)
1 Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing; the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy; and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
