My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up.
Psalm 5:3
Words: Scottish Psalter, 1650.

Lord, Thou shalt early hear my voice:
I early will direct
My prayer to Thee; and looking up,
An answer will expect.
For Thou art not a God that doth
In wickedness delight;
Neither shall evil dwell with Thee,
Nor fools stand in Thy sight.
But I into Thy house will come
In Thine abundant grace;
And I will worship in Thy fear
Toward Thy holy place.
Let all that trust in Thee be glad,
With joy lift up their voice;
Because Thou savest them; let all
That love Thy name rejoice.
