Psalms 5:1-7

1Open your ears to my words, O Lord. Consider my innermost thoughts.

2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, because I pray only to you.

3In the morning, O Lord, hear my voice. In the morning I lay my needs in front of you, and I wait.

4You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness. Evil will never be your guest.

5Those who brag cannot stand in your sight. You hate all troublemakers.

6You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord is disgusted with bloodthirsty and deceitful people.

7But I will enter your house because of your great mercy. Out of reverence for you, I will bow toward your holy temple.
