| 1 ¶ To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
|
|
| 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
|
|
| 3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
|
|
| 4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
|
|
| 5 The foolish shall not stand in1 thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
|
|
| 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody2 and deceitful man.
|
|
| 7 ¶ But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy3 temple.
|
|
| 8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine4 enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
|
|
| 9 For there is no faithfulness5 in their mouth;6 their inward part is very7 wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
|
|
| 10 Destroy8 thou them, O God; let them fall by9 their own counsels; cast 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 defendest10 them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
|
|
| 12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass11 him as with a shield.
