2. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3. In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
4. For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.
5. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
6. you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest.
7. But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.
8. Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.
