Psalms 5:1-8 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. 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 Godwho enjoys wickedness;evil doesn’t live with you.

5. Arrogant people won’t last longin your sight;you hate all evildoers;

6. you destroy liars.The Lord despises people who are violent and dishonest.

7. But me? I will enter your housebecause of your abundant, faithful love;I will bow down at your holy temple,honoring you.

8. Lord, because of many enemies,please lead me in your righteousness.Make your way clear,right in front of me.
