Psalm 5:1-7

1 Listen, God! Please, pay attention! Can you make sense of these ramblings,

1 Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.

2 my groans and cries? King-God, I need your help.

2 Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.

3 Every morning you'll hear me at it again. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on your altar and watch for fire to descend.

3 In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

4 You don't socialize with Wicked, or invite Evil over as your houseguest.

4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.

5 Hot-Air-Boaster collapses in front of you; you shake your head over Mischief-Maker.

5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;

6 God destroys Lie-Speaker; Blood-Thirsty and Truth-Bender disgust you.

6 you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.

7 And here I am, your invited guest - it's incredible! I enter your house; here I am, prostrate in your inner sanctum,

7 But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.
