| 1 | Give ear to my words, O LORD; * consider my meditation. |
| 2 | Hearken to my cry for help, my King and my God, * for I make my prayer to you. |
| 3 | In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; * early in the morning I make my appeal and watch for you. |
| 4 | For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, * and evil cannot dwell with you. |
| 5 | Braggarts cannot stand in your sight; * you hate all those who work wickedness. |
| 6 | You destroy those who speak lies; * the bloodthirsty and deceitful, O LORD, you abhor. |
| 7 | But as for me, through the greatness of your mercy I will go into your house; * I will bow down toward your holy temple in awe of you. |
| 8 | Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness, because of those who lie in wait for me; * make your way straight before me. |
| 9 | For there is no truth in their mouth; * there is destruction in their heart; |
| 10 | Their throat is an open grave; * they flatter with their tongue. |
| 11 | Declare them guilty, O God; * let them fall, because of their schemes. |
| 12 | Because of their many transgressions cast them out, * for they have rebelled against you. |
| 13 | But all who take refuge in you will be glad; * they will sing out their joy for ever. |
| 14 | You will shelter them, * so that those who love your Name may exult in you. |
| 15 | For you, O LORD, will bless the righteous; * you will defend them with your favor as with a shield. |
