New King James Version

Psalms 5:1-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

2. Give heed to the voice of my cry,My King and my God,For to You I will pray.

3. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;In the morning I will direct it to You,And I will look up.

4. For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,Nor shall evil dwell with You.

5. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;You hate all workers of iniquity.

6. You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

7. But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
