1 For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David. Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament. For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
2 Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray. Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray.
3 In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation. O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome. For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You. For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you.
5 The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity. The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers.
6 you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest. You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. You destroy those who speak lies; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple. But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple. 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.
8 Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me. Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me. Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me.
9 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. For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you. Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, 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.
11 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. But 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. 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.
12 Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor. For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield.
