Psalm 5:1-4
Today we are reading Psalm 5.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:
Psalm 5:1-4 - Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my groaning. 2 Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray. 3 In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. 4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You.
