{To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.} Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation. |
| 2 |
Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray. |
| 3 |
Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up. |
| 4 |
For thou art not a ùGod that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee. |
| 5 |
Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity. |
| 6 |
Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit. |
| 7 |
But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear. |
| 8 |
Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me. |
| 9 |
For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. |
| 10 |
Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee. |
| 11 |
And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee. |
| 12 |
For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield. |
