pay attention to my groaning.
2
Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God,
for I pray to no one but you.
3
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my requests to you and
wait expectantly.
4
O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness;
you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.
5
Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence,
for you hate all who do evil.
6
You will destroy those who tell lies.
The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.
7
Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house;
8
Lead me in the right path, O Lord,
or my enemies will conquer me.
Make
your way plain for me to follow.
9
My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their
talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.
Their tongues are filled with flattery.
10
O God, declare them guilty.
Let them be caught in their own traps.
Drive
them away because of their many sins,
11
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them sing joyful praises forever.
Spread
your protection over them,
that all who love your name may be filled
with joy.
12
For you bless the godly, O Lord;
you surround them with your shield of love.
Psalm
5, New Living Translation
