Tell the music leader to use flutes.

This is a song that David wrote.

Pray about your enemies[a]

Lord, listen to what I say to you.
    I am upset, so think about what I am saying.
My King and my God, listen to my voice.
    I am asking you to help me.
    I am praying to you!
Lord, every morning you listen to my voice.
At sunrise I will turn to you for help,
    and I will wait for you to answer.[b]

Footnotes

  1. 5:1 Psalm 5 is another morning song. We do not know when David wrote it. We do know that David had enemies. So he prayed to God to keep him safe.
  2. 5:3 David told the Lord that he would pray early in the morning. He would wait to see what God would do.
