2 My God and King, listen to my prayer.
3 Every morning, Lord, I lay my gifts before you and look to you for help. And every morning you hear my prayers.
4 God, you don’t want evil people near you. They cannot stay in your presence.
5 Fools cannot come near you. You hate those who do evil.
6 You destroy those who tell lies. Lord, you hate those who make secret plans to hurt others.
7 But by your great mercy, I can enter your house. I can worship in your holy Temple with fear and respect for you.
8 Lord, show me your right way of living, and make it easy for me to follow. People are looking for my weaknesses, so show me how you want me to live.
