Psalms 5:1-7

1 Listen to my words, O Lord, and hear my sighs.
2 Listen to my cry for help, my God and king! I pray to you, O Lord;
3 you hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer and wait for your answer.
4 You are not a God who is pleased with wrongdoing; you allow no evil in your presence.
5 You cannot stand the sight of the proud; you hate all wicked people.
6 You destroy all liars and despise violent, deceitful people.
7 But because of your great love I can come into your house; I can worship in your holy Temple and bow down to you in reverence.
