Sunday Psalm

Psalm 5:1-8

Give ear to my words, o Lord,

consider my sighing.

Listen to my cry for help,

my King and my God,

for to you I pray.

In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice;

in the morning I lay my requests before you

and wait in expectation.

You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;

with you the wicked cannot dwell.

The arrogant cannot stand in your presence;

you hate all who do wrong.

You destroy those who tell lies;

bloodthirsty and deceitful men

the Lord abhors.

But I, by your great mercy,

will come into your house;

in reverence I will bow down 

toward your holy temple.

Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness

because of my enemies--

make straight your way before me.
