¹To the Chief Musician, for flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my meditation. ²Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to You I will pray. ³My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning I will direct my prayer to You, and I will look up. ⁴For You are not a God that enjoys wickedness; nor shall evil dwell with You. ⁵The foolish shall not stand in Your sight. You hate all doers of iniquity. ⁶You shall destroy those who speak lies; the LORD will despise the bloody and deceitful man. ⁷But I, in the abundance of Your grace, I will come into Your house; I will worship in Your fear toward Your holy temple. ⁸Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness, because of my enemies; make Your way straight before my face. ⁹For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is wickedness; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. ¹⁰Hold 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. ¹¹But let all who put their trust in You rejoice; let them always shout for joy, because You defend them. And let those who love Your name be joyful in You. ¹²For You; O LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.
