1Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, LORD. Consider my meditation.
2Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
2Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.
3Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
3LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
4For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
4For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.
5In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.
6Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
6You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
7But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
8Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.
9Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
10For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain.
10Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
11Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
11But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
12But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee:
12For you will bless the righteous. LORD, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
13For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
