The Morning of August 7th

So, after I drank a cup of coffee (coffee, which i oh so love very much! J ), I decide to dive in the Bible and I began reading Psalms. The second Psalm i read was Psalm 5. The title of it is Morning Prayer for Guidance. So instantly, I was drawn to it. Before I even read it, I said, kind of loudly, “I'm reading this every day!”.

So I began to read it and decided to share it with you all.

I’m posting the Amplified version of it because I read it in the King James Version and I know that version can  be hard to understand because we don’t talk that way anymore.

I hope it blesses you all! J

Psalm 5

¹LISTEN TO my words, O Lord, give heed to my sighing and groaning.

    ²Hear the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You do I pray.
    ³In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].
    ⁴For You are not a God Who takes pleasure in wickedness; neither will the evil [man] so much as dwell [temporarily] with You.
    ⁵Boasters can have no standing in Your sight; You abhor all evildoers.
    ⁶You will destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors [and rejects] the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
    ⁷But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and mercy; I will worship toward and at Your holy temple in reverent fear and awe of You.
    ⁸Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way level (straight and right) before my face.
    ⁹For there is nothing trustworthy or steadfast or truthful in their talk; their heart is destruction [or a destructive chasm, a yawning gulf]; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter and make smooth with their tongue.
    ¹⁰Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own designs and counsels; cast them out because of the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
    ¹¹But let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice; let them ever sing and shout for joy, because You make a covering over them and defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You and be in high spirits.
    ¹²For You, Lord, will bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with You]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and favor).
