The verses around Psalms 5:3.
1Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Verse explanation
Morning was the time for the daily sacrifice at the temple, so praying in the morning and watching evokes the custom of presenting oneself early before God, like someone preparing the offering and waiting for a response — not just a personal habit of rising early.
From the Psalms 5 study in Bible in Stories.
