1 | 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 in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of
iniquity.
|
6 | Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody
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 holy temple.
|
8 | Lead me, O Lord, 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 | 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.
|
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.
|
12 | For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass
him as with a shield.
