Psalms 5:3
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
2 Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.
In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.
4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.
5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
