Psalms 5:1-7 New English Translation (NET)

1. Listen to what I say, Lord!Carefully consider my complaint!

2. Pay attention to my cry for help,my king and my God,for I am praying to you!

3. Lord, in the morning you will hear me;in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer.

4. Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil;evil people cannot dwell with you.

5. Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence;you hate all who behave wickedly.

6. You destroy liars;the Lord despises violent and deceitful people.

7. But as for me, because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house;I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you.
