Psalms 5:1-7

1 Lord, listen to my words. Understand my sadness.
2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, because I pray to you.
3 Lord, every morning you hear my voice. Every morning, I tell you what I need, and I wait for your answer.
4 You are not a God who is pleased with the wicked; you do not live with those who do evil.
5 Those people who make fun of you cannot stand before you. You hate all those who do evil.
6 You destroy liars; the Lord hates those who kill and trick others.
7 Because of your great love, I can come into your Temple. Because I fear and respect you, I can worship in your holy Temple.
