Psalms 5 is also known as a "Prayer for Protection"
It starts out with a cry for help, a pleading to the Lord for his protection. It then goes on to tell how God doesn't like sinful people, anyone who does wrongdoing, and allows no evil to be in his presence.
It describes a nature of God as one of perfection, of glory, completely unblemished by the raw, violent actions of those who wish to do others harm.
Because of God's love, those who worship him can come in His house for protection. He will protect his worshipers from their enemies, no matter what method of madness they wish to employ.
Verse 5 has a line that reads, "may their own plots cause their ruin." This means that those wicked plots will always be their undoing. This is so true in life, as we meet others are go about being deceitful to others. This shows that in the end, they always lose. Honesty is always the best policy.
The last line is "your love protects them like a shield."
But not just any shield. The shield of God.
