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.

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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