New Testament

Psalms 5:1-9 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. Open your ears to my words, O Lord.Consider my innermost thoughts.

2. Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God,because I pray only to you.

3. In the morning, O Lord, hear my voice.In the morning I lay my needs in front of you,and I wait.

4. You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness.Evil will never be your guest.

5. Those who brag cannot stand in your sight.You hate all troublemakers.

6. You destroy those who tell lies.The Lord is disgusted with bloodthirsty and deceitful people.

7. But I will enter your house because of your great mercy.Out of reverence for you, I will bow toward your holy temple.

8. O Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of those who spy on me.Make your way in front of me smooth.

9. Nothing in their mouths is truthful.Destruction comes from their hearts.Their throats are open graves.They flatter with their tongues.
