NET BibleBerean Study Bible
1For the music director, to be accompanied by wind instruments; a psalm of David. Listen to what I say, LORD! Carefully consider my complaint! 1For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I am praying to you! 2Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.
3LORD, in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer. 3In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.
4Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you. 4For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.
5Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly. 5The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.
6You destroy liars; the LORD despises violent and deceitful people. 6You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7But as for me, because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house; I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you. 7But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.
8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of those who wait to ambush me, remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me! 8Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.
9For they do not speak the truth; their stomachs are like the place of destruction, their throats like an open grave, their tongues like a steep slope leading into it. 9For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.
10Condemn them, O God! May their own schemes be their downfall! Drive them away because of their many acts of insurrection, for they have rebelled against you. 10Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
11But may all who take shelter in you be happy! May they continually shout for joy! Shelter them so that those who are loyal to you may rejoice! 11But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
12Certainly you reward the godly, LORD. Like a shield you protect them in your good favor. 12For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
