1 Listen, Lord, as I pray!Pay attention when I groan.
2 You are my King and my God.Answer my cry for helpbecause I pray to you.
3 Each morning you listento my prayer,as I bring my requests to youand wait for your reply.
4 You are not the kind of Godwho is pleased with evil.Sinners can't stay with you.
5 No one who boasts can standin your presence, Lord,and you hate evil people.
6 You destroy every liar,and you despise violenceand deceit.
7 Because of your great mercy,I come to your house, Lord,and I am filled with wonderas I bow down to worshipat your holy temple.
