New Testament

Psalm 5:1-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Lord, listen to my words. Pay attention when I sigh.

2. My King and my God, listen to me when I cry for help. I pray to you.

3. Lord, in the morning you hear my voice. In the morning I pray to you. I wait for you in hope.

4. God, you aren't happy with anything that is evil. Those who do what is wrong can't live where you are.

5. Those who are proud can't stand in front of you. You hate everyone who does what is evil.

6. You destroy those who tell lies. Lord, you hate murderers and those who cheat others.

7. Because of your great love I will come into your house. With deep respect I will bow down toward your holy temple.

8. Lord, I have many enemies. Lead me in your right path. Make your way smooth and straight for me.
