For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
1 Give ear to my
words, O Jehovah,
Consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice
of my cry, my King, and my God;
For unto thee do I pray.
3 O Jehovah, in the
morning shalt thou hear my voice;
In the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep
watch.
4 For thou art not a God
that hath pleasure in wickedness:
Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 The arrogant shall not
stand in thy sight:
Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou wilt destroy them
that speak lies:
Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, in the
abundance of thy lovingkindness will
I come into thy house:
In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Lead me, O Jehovah, in
thy righteousness because of mine
enemies;
Make thy 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 sepulchre;
They flatter with their tongue.
10 Hold them guilty, O
God;
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
For they have rebelled against thee.
11 But let all those
that take refuge in thee rejoice,
Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:
Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 For thou wilt bless
the righteous;
O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
