1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Listen to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to you will I pray.
3 My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer to you, and will look up.
4 For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.
5 The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
6 You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Destroy you them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.
12 For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor will you compass him as with a shield.
1 Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation.
2 Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for unto You will I pray.
3 My voice shall You hear in the morning, O Jehovah; in the morning I will direct my prayer unto You, and I will look up.
4 For You are not a Mighty God that delights in wickedness; nor shall evil dwell with You.
5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all doers of iniquity.
6 You shall destroy those who speak lies; Jehovah abhors the man of blood and treachery.
7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the abundance of Your mercy; I will bow down in Your fear toward Your holy temple.
8 Lead me, O Jehovah, in Your righteousness, because of my enemies; make Your way straight before my face.
9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
11 But let all those who put their trust in You rejoice; let them always shout for joy, because You defend them. And let those who love Your name be joyful in You.
12 For You, O Jehovah, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.
