Psalm 5:2

Contemporary English Version 1995

You are my King and my God. Answer my cry for help because I pray to you.

See the chapter Copy

Everyone will come to you because you answer prayer.

I pray to you, and you answer from your sacred hill.

The Lord is our judge and our ruler; the Lord is our king and will keep us safe.

I will praise you, my God and King, and always honor your name.

Lord God All-Powerful, my King and my God, sparrows find a home near your altars; swallows build nests there to raise their young.

Our God and King, you have ruled since ancient times; you have won victories everywhere on this earth.

You are my God and King, and you give victory to the people of Jacob.

Our Lord, you will always rule, but every godless nation will vanish from the earth.

But I ask you to answer my prayer.

I begged you to listen. “Help!” I shouted. “Save me!” You answered my prayer
