Psalms 5:4 in Context — Psalms 5

2 Prête l’oreille à mes paroles, ô Éternel! Écoute mes gémissements!

3 Sois attentif à mes cris, mon roi et mon Dieu! C’est à toi que j’adresse ma prière.

4 Éternel! Le matin tu entends ma voix; Le matin je me tourne vers toi, et je regarde.

5 Car tu n’es point un Dieu qui prenne plaisir au mal; Le méchant n’a pas sa demeure auprès de toi.

6 Les insensés ne subsistent pas devant tes yeux; Tu hais tous ceux qui commettent l’iniquité.
