Psalm 5:2

New Century Version

Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, because I pray to you.

See the chapter Copy

You hear our prayers. All people will come to you.

I will pray to the Lord, and he will answer me from his holy mountain.Selah

This is because the Lord is our judge. The Lord makes our laws. The Lord is our king. He will save us.

I praise your greatness, my God the King; I will praise you forever and ever.

The sparrows have found a home, and the swallows have nests. They raise their young near your altars, Lord All-Powerful, my King and my God.

God, you have been our king for a long time. You bring salvation to the earth.

My God, you are my King. Your commands led Jacob’s people to victory.

The Lord is King forever and ever. Destroy from your land those nations that do not worship you.

But please listen to my prayer and my request, because I am your servant. Lord my God, hear this prayer your servant prays to you today.

You heard me calling, “Do not close your ears and ignore my gasps and shouts.”
