To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my (meditation)
2 Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to thee will I pray.
Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] to thee, and will look up.
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: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.
7 But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship towards thy holy temple.
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, O LORD, in thy righteousness, because of my enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.
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.
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 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
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 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
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, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield.
For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield.
