For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear{H238} to my words,{H561} O Jehovah,{H3068} Consider{H995} my meditation.{H1901}

Hearken{H7181} unto the voice{H6963} of my cry,{H7773} my King,{H4428} and my God;{H430} For unto thee do I pray.{H6419}

O Jehovah,{H3068} in the morning{H1242} shalt thou hear{H8085} my voice;{H6963} In the morning{H1242} will I order{H6186} [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.{H6822}

For thou art not a God{H410} that hath pleasure{H2655} in wickedness:{H7562} Evil{H7451} shall not sojourn{H1481} with thee.

The arrogant{H1984} shall not stand{H3320} in thy sight:{H5869} Thou hatest{H8130} all workers{H6466} of iniquity.{H205}

Thou wilt destroy{H6} them that speak{H1696} lies:{H3577} Jehovah{H3068} abhorreth{H8581} the blood-thirsty{H1818} and deceitful{H4820} man.{H376}

But as for me, in the abundance{H7230} of thy lovingkindness{H2617} will I come{H935} into thy house:{H1004} In thy fear{H3374} will I worship{H7812} toward thy holy{H6944} temple.{H1964}

Lead{H5148} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} in thy righteousness{H6666} because of mine enemies;{H8324} Make thy way{H1870} straight{H3474} before my face.{H6440}

For there is no faithfulness{H3559} in their mouth;{H6310} Their inward{H7130} part is very wickedness;{H1942} Their throat{H1627} is an open{H6605} sepulchre;{H6913} They flatter{H2505} with their tongue.{H3956}

Hold them guilty,{H816} O God;{H430} Let them fall{H5307} by their own counsels;{H4156} Thrust them out{H5080} in the multitude{H7230} of their transgressions;{H6588} For they have rebelled{H4784} against thee.

But let all those that take refuge{H2620} in thee rejoice,{H8055} Let them ever{H5769} shout for joy,{H7442} because thou defendest{H5526} them: Let them also that love{H157} thy name{H8034} be joyful{H5970} in thee.

For thou wilt bless{H1288} the righteous;{H6662} O Jehovah,{H3068} thou wilt compass{H5849} him with favor{H7522} as with a shield.{H6793}
