Psalms 5:1-7
112Listen to what I say, Lord! Carefully consider my complaint!
2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I am praying to you!
3Lord, in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer.
4Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you.
5Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.
6You destroy liars; the Lord despises violent and deceitful people.
7But as for me, because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house; I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you.
Notes

- 2. Psalms 5:1 The meaning of the Hebrew word נְחִילוֹת (nÿkhilot), which occurs only here, is uncertain. Many relate the form to חָלִיל (khalil, “flute”). ↩
