Psalms 5:1-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my groaning.

2. Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.

3. In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

4. For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You.

5. The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity.

6. You destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

7. But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.

8. O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me.
