Psalms 5:1-6

¹For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

²Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

³Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

⁴For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

⁵The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

⁶You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.
