1 Give ear to my words, O Lord; ♦︎
consider my lamentation.
2 Hearken to the voice of my crying, my King and my God, ♦︎
for to you I make my prayer.
3 In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice; ♦︎
early in the morning I make my appeal to you, and look up.
4 For you are the God who takes no pleasure in wickedness; ♦︎
no evil can dwell with you.
5 The boastful cannot stand in your sight; ♦︎
you hate all those that work wickedness.
