Praying the Psalms: 5,6

Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
my voice ascending high,
To thee shall I direct my prayer,
To Thee lift up my eye. (Traditional Hymn)

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.

4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

Psalm 5
