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. |
