Psalm 5

A morning prayer: lay your plea before God and wait, watching. The psalm is clear that God does not delight in wickedness and that deceit and bloodshed are abhorrent to Him. David enters God's house not by his own record but "by the abundance of Your loving devotion."

"In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation." (Psalm 5:3)

Versions/Hebrew: "Loving devotion" in 5:7 is chesed [2617], covenant love that holds on.
