Psalm 5:3-5
Contemporary English Version
3 Each morning you listen
to my prayer,
as I bring my requests[a] to you
and wait for your reply.
4 You are not the kind of God
who is pleased with evil.
Sinners can't stay with you.
5 No one who boasts can stand
in your presence, Lord,
and you hate evil people.
