Psalm 5

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing.  Listen to my cry for help; my King and my God, for to you I pray.  In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.  You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.   The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.  You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors.  But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.  Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies - make straight your way before me.  Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction.  Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.  Declare them guilty, O God!  Let their intrigues be their downfall.  Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.  But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.  For surely  O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them  with your favor as with a shield.
NIV

PRAYER

To the Lord God, King of heaven and earth will I pray.
Before my day begins you are already there waiting and listening to my requests.
Keep me from straying from your ways, I want to live by your rules, your grace and mercy.
Lead me in the ways that are right.  I choose freely to follow you.

Because of you Jesus I can be glad and sing happy songs.
In fact I can sing songs of joy! I can live in victory!
You tell me you are protecting me and blessing me, I trust you Lord.
Thank you for surrounding me and giving me your approval.
Amen
