|
1 |
Give ear to my
words, O LORD,
Consider my meditation.
|
|
|
2 |
Give heed to the
voice of my cry,
My King and my God,
For to You I will pray.
|
|
3 |
My voice You shall
hear in the morning, O LORD;
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.
|
|
4 |
For You are not a
God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil dwell with You.
|
|
5 |
The boastful shall
not stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
|
|
6 |
You shall destroy
those who speak falsehood;
The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
|
|
7 |
But as for me, I
will come into Your house in the
multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will 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 destruction;
Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
|
|
10 |
Pronounce 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
rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
|
|
12 |
For You, O LORD,
will bless the righteous;
With favour You will surround him as with a shield.
