1Listen to my words, Lord;
consider my sighing.5:1 Ps 38:9
my King and my God,5:2 Ps 84:3
for I pray to you.
4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil cannot dwell with you.5:4 Ps 92:15

7But I enter your house
I bow down toward your holy temple
in reverential awe of you.5:7 Ps 138:2
because of my adversaries;
make your way straight before me.5:8 Pr 4:11
destruction is within them;
their throat is an open grave;
10Punish them, God;
Drive them out5:10 Mt 13:41–42 because of their many crimes,
for they rebel against you.5:10 Pr 17:11
let them shout for joy forever.
and may those who love your name boast about you.5:11 Ps 9:2
12For you, Lord, bless the righteous one;
