Give attention to the sound of my cry,
    my (A)King and my God,
    for (B)to you do I pray.
O Lord, in (C)the morning you hear my voice;
    in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you[a] and (D)watch.

For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
    evil may not dwell with you.

Hear my cry for help,(A)

    and wait expectantly.(D)
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people(E) are not welcome.
