For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.
1
aListen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.
2
Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3
In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
4
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.
5
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
6
you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.
