To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David

1Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

2Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for to You will I pray.   listen

3My voice shall You hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer to You, and will look up.

4For You are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with You.

5The foolish shall not stand in Your sight: You hate all workers of iniquity.

6You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.   lies

7But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy: and in Your fear will I worship toward Your holy temple.   temple; reverence

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 very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.   ROM 3:10, 13 | tomb

10Destroy You them, 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 those that put their trust in You rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them: let them also that love Your name be joyful in You.

12For You, Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor will You compass him as with a shield.   surround
