[1] Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning.
[2] Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.
[3] In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
[4] For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You.
[5] The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity.
[6] You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
[7] But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.
[8] O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me.
[9] There is nothing reliable in what they say; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.
[10] Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You.
[11] But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You.
[12] For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield.
