Psalm 5 Song: Give Ear to My Words
Psalm 5 gives voice to a familiar morning desire: to be heard clearly and to find direction before the day gathers noise. “Give Ear to My Words” turns that desire into a focused musical prayer, so pause at the opening, listen for its sense of expectation, and let Psalm 5 create space for purposeful attention.
Many people begin a day with confidence and uncertainty existing side by side, already carrying hopes that have not yet found words. Psalm 5 reframes the morning as a threshold for alignment; as the melody moves forward, notice how asking, waiting and choosing a path can become one steady practice.

Give Ear to My Words Lyrics
Give ear to my words, O Lord
Consider my meditation
Lord, listen to the words I bring
Read the silence underneath
Hear the cry behind my breath
My King, my God, I come to You
When morning breaks, I turn to You
Before the noise, before the fight
I place my prayer before Your throne
Then raise my eyes and wait for light
You do not welcome wicked ways
No evil rests inside Your house
The proud lose strength before Your face
The false are driven from Your light
The lying mouth will not endure
The violent heart will not remain
The hands of fraud are seen by You
The mask of darkness falls away
But I will enter by Your mercy
Not by power, not by pride
I will bow in holy reverence
Where Your sacred presence shines
Guide me in the righteous road
Because my enemies watch my steps
Clear the way in front of me
Make straight the path beneath my feet
Their mouths are empty of the truth
Their hearts are ruin dressed in charm
Their words are smooth upon the tongue
But death is hidden in their throat
Let their counsel break beneath them
Let their schemes become their fall
Send away rebellious voices
That rise against Your holy law
But let the trusting heart rejoice
Let every guarded soul sing out
You defend the ones who love You
You cover those who call Your name
Lord, You bless the righteous one
You place Your favour all around
Like a shield on every side
Your mercy keeps me safe and crowned
When morning breaks, I turn to You
Before the noise, before the fight
I place my prayer before Your throne
Then raise my eyes and wait for light.
