Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament

 Psalm 5:1-12

Listen to my words, Lordconsider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;  with you, evil people are not welcome. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest. But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

Why?

My heart is sad and full of worry, I confess I am nothing.

May the Lord save me from worry and hopeless.

How?

I know the Lord is my refuge and my fortress.
