Psalm 5:1-8

¹ Hear my words, LORD! Consider my groans! ² Pay attention to the sound of my cries, my king and my God, because I am praying to you! ³ LORD, in the morning you hear my voice. In the morning I lay it all out before you. Then I wait expectantly. ⁴ Because you aren’t a God who enjoys wickedness; evil doesn’t live with you. ⁵ Arrogant people won’t last long in your sight; you hate all evildoers; ⁶ you destroy liars. The LORD despises people who are violent and dishonest. ⁷ But me? I will enter your house because of your abundant, faithful love; I will bow down at your holy temple, honoring you. ⁸ LORD, because of many enemies, please lead me in your righteousness. Make your way clear, right in front of me.
