Psalms 5:2-8

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.

⁷But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

⁸Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.
