1 For the leader; with wind instruments. A psalm of David. [2] Give ear to my words, O LORD; understand my sighing. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David. Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.
2 Attend to the sound of my cry, my king and my God! For to you I will pray, LORD; Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
3 in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I will plead before you and wait. O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
4 You are not a god who delights in evil; no wicked person finds refuge with you; For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you. For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.
5 the arrogant cannot stand before your eyes. You hate all who do evil; The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
6 you destroy those who speak falsely. A bloody and fraudulent man the LORD abhors. You destroy those who speak lies; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.
7 But I, through the abundance of your mercy, will enter into your house. I will bow down toward your holy sanctuary out of fear of you. But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you. But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.
8 LORD, guide me in your justice because of my foes; make straight your way before me. Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me. Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.
9 For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their heart is corrupt. Their throat is an open grave; on their tongue are subtle lies. For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.
10 Declare them guilty, God; make them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many sins; for they have rebelled against you. Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you. Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11 Then all who trust in you will be glad and forever shout for joy. You will protect them and those will rejoice in you who love your name. But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12 For you, LORD, bless the just one; you surround him with favor like a shield. For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield. Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
