Psalm 5:1-6 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. Give ear to my words, O Lord;consider my groaning.

2. Give attention to the sound of my cry,my King and my God,for to you do I pray.

3. O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.

4. For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;evil may not dwell with you.

5. The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;you hate all evildoers.

6. You destroy those who speak lies;the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
