1 [To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.] Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

3 Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

4 For thou art not a *God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.

5 Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

7 But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

8 Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.

9 For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10 Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.

11 And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.

12 For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous {man}; with favour wilt thou surround him as {with} a shield.

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ אֶל־הַנְּחִילֹות מִזְמֹור לְדָוִד׃

2 אֲמָרַי הַאֲזִינָה ׀ יְהוָה בִּינָה הֲגִיגִי׃

3 הַקְשִׁיבָה ׀ לְקֹול שַׁוְעִי מַלְכִּי וֵאלֹהָי כִּי־אֵלֶיךָ אֶתְפַּלָּל׃

4 יְהוָה בֹּקֶר תִּשְׁמַע קֹולִי בֹּקֶר אֶעֱרָךְ־לְךָ וַאֲצַפֶּה׃

5 כִּי ׀ לֹא אֵל־חָפֵץ רֶשַׁע ׀ אָתָּה לֹא יְגֻרְךָ רָע׃

6 לֹא־יִתְיַצְּבוּ הֹולְלִים לְנֶגֶד עֵינֶיךָ נֵאתָ כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן׃

7 תְּאַבֵּד דֹּבְרֵי כָזָב אִישׁ־דָּמִים וּמִרְמָה יְתָעֵב ׀ יְהוָה׃

8 וַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבֹוא בֵיתֶךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵיכַל־קָדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶךָ׃

9 יְהוָה ׀ נְחֵנִי בְצִדְקָתֶךָ לְמַעַן שֹׁורְרָי [הֹושַׁר כ] (הַיְשַׁר ק) לְפָנַי דַּרְכֶּךָ׃

10 כִּי אֵין בְּפִיהוּ נְכֹונָה קִרְבָּם הַוֹּות קֶבֶר־פָּתוּחַ גְּרֹונָם לְשֹׁונָם יַחֲלִיקוּן׃

11 הַאֲשִׁימֵם ׀ אֱ‍לֹהִים יִפְּלוּ מִמֹּעֲצֹותֵיהֶם בְּרֹב פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵמֹו כִּי־מָרוּ בָךְ׃

12 וְיִשְׂמְחוּ כָל־חֹוסֵי בָךְ לְעֹולָם יְרַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵךְ עָלֵימֹו וְיַעְלְצוּ בְךָ אֹהֲבֵי שְׁמֶךָ׃

13 כִּי־אַתָּה תְּבָרֵךְ צַדִּיק יְהוָה כַּצִּנָּה רָצֹון תַּעְטְרֶנּוּ׃
