Psalms

Psalm 5:1–3

1For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David.

Give ear to my words, O LORD;

consider my groaning.

2Attend to the sound of my cry,

my King and my God,

for to You I pray.

3In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice;

at daybreak I lay my plea before You

and wait in expectation.
