Psalm 5:1-7

Common English Bible

5 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.
