Day 3: Psalm 5

Psalm 5 Song of the Clouded Dawn For the Pure and Shining One For her who receives the inheritance, by King David Morning Watch 1  Listen, Yahweh, to my passionate prayer!   Can’t you hear my groaning? 2  Don’t you hear how I’m crying out to you?   My King and my God, consider my every word,   for I am calling out to you. 3  At each and every sunrise you will hear my voice   as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to you.   Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar   and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart. Making It Right 4  I know that you, God, are never pleased with lawlessness,   and evil ones will never be invited as guests in your house. 5  Boasters collapse, unable to survive your scrutiny,   for your hatred of evildoers is clear. 6  You will make an end of all those who lie.   How you hate their hypocrisy and despise all who love violence!...
