1
To the chief Musician[H5329] upon Nehiloth[H5155], A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732]. Give ear[H238] to my words[H561], O LORD[H3068], consider[H995] my meditation[H1901].
2Hearken[H7181] unto the voice[H6963] of my cry[H7773], my King[H4428], and my God[H430]: for unto thee will I pray[H6419].
3
My voice[H6963] shalt thou hear[H8085] in the morning[H1242], O LORD[H3068]; in the morning[H1242] will I direct[H6186] my prayer unto thee, and will look up[H6822].
4
For thou art not a God[H410] that hath pleasure[H2655] in wickedness[H7562]: neither shall evil[H7451]dwell[H1481] with thee.
5
The foolish[H1984] shall not stand[H3320] in thy sight[H5869]: thou hatest[H8130] all workers[H6466] of iniquity[H205].
6
Thou shalt destroy[H6] them that speak[H1696]leasing[H3577]: the LORD[H3068] will abhor[H8581] the bloody[H1818] and deceitful[H4820]man[H376].
7
But as for me, I will come[H935] into thy house[H1004] in the multitude[H7230] of thy mercy[H2617]: and in thy fear[H3374] will I worship[H7812] toward thy holy[H6944]temple[H1964].
8Lead[H5148] me, O LORD[H3068], in thy righteousness[H6666] because of mine enemies[H8324]; make thy way[H1870]straight[H3474] before my face[H6440].
9
For there is no faithfulness[H3559] in their mouth[H6310]; their inward[H7130] part is very wickedness[H1942]; their throat[H1627] is an open[H6605]sepulchre[H6913]; they flatter[H2505] with their tongue[H3956].
10Destroy[H816] thou them, O God[H430]; let them fall[H5307] by their own counsels[H4156]; cast them out[H5080] in the multitude[H7230] of their transgressions[H6588]; for they have rebelled[H4784] against thee.
11
But let all those that put their trust[H2620] in thee rejoice[H8055]: let them ever[H5769] shout for joy[H7442], because thou defendest[H5526] them: let them also that love[H157] thy name[H8034] be joyful[H5970] in thee.
12
For thou, LORD[H3068], wilt bless[H1288] the righteous[H6662]; with favour[H7522] wilt thou compass[H5849] him as with a shield[H6793].
