Psalm 5:2

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Listen to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I pray.

See the chapter Copy

O you who answer prayer! To you all flesh shall come.

I cry aloud to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah

For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our ruler; the Lord is our king; he will save us.

I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever.

Even the sparrow finds a home and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.

Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the earth.

You are my King and my God; you command victories for Jacob.

The Lord is king forever and ever; the nations shall perish from his land.

Regard your servant’s prayer and his plea, O Lord my God, heeding the cry and the prayer that your servant prays to you today,

you heard my plea, “Do not close your ear to my cry for help, but give me relief!”
