Praying Psalm 5

O Adonai, hear us as we pray; pay attention to our groaning. Listen to our cries for help, our King, our God and our Father, for we pray to no one but You. Listen to our voice in the morning, Adonai. Each morning we bring our requests to You and wait expectantly. Father, You take no pleasure in wickedness; You cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked. Therefore, the proud may not stand in Your presence, for You hate all who do evil. You will destroy those who tell lies. Lord You detests murderers and deceivers. Because of Your unfailing love, we can enter Your House; we will worship at Your Temple with deepest awe. Lead us in the right path O Adonai or our enemies will conquer us. Make Your way plain for us to follow. Our enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery. Father, You declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against You. But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread Your protection over them, that all who love Your Name may be filled with joy. For You bless the godly, Adonai; You surround us with Your shield of love and we love You, amein.
