New International Version NIV
1 Hear my words, LORD! Consider my groans!
1
Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.
2 Pay attention to the sound of my cries, my king and my God, because I am praying to you!
2
Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3 LORD, in the morning you hear my voice. In the morning I lay it all out before you. Then I wait expectantly.
3
In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
4 Because you aren't a God who enjoys wickedness; evil doesn't live with you.
4
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.
5 Arrogant people won't last long in your sight; you hate all evildoers;
5
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
6 you destroy liars. The LORD despises people who are violent and dishonest.
6
you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.
