Psalm 5:1-8 (New International Version)

Psalm 5

For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David.

 ² Listen to my cry for help,
       my King and my God,
       for to you I pray.

 ³ In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
       in the morning I lay my requests before you
       and wait in expectation.

 ⁴ You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;
       with you the wicked cannot dwell.

 ⁵ The arrogant cannot stand in your presence;
       you hate all who do wrong.

 ⁶ You destroy those who tell lies;
       bloodthirsty and deceitful men
       the LORD abhors.

 ⁷ But I, by your great mercy,
       will come into your house;
       in reverence will I bow down
       toward your holy temple.

 ⁸ Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness
       because of my enemies—
       make straight your way before me.
