1 F or the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give earH238 to my words,H561 O Jehovah,H3068 ConsiderH995 my meditation.H1901
2 HearkenH7181 unto the voiceH6963 of my cry,H7773 my King,H4428 and my God;H430 For unto thee do I pray.H6419
3 O Jehovah,H3068 in the morningH1242 shalt thou hearH8085 my voice;H6963 In the morningH1242 will I orderH6186 [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.H6822
4 For thou art not a GodH410 that hath pleasureH2655 in wickedness:H7562 EvilH7451 shall not sojournH1481 with thee.
5 The arrogantH1984 shall not standH3320 in thy sight:H5869 Thou hatestH8130 all workersH6466 of iniquity.H205
6 Thou wilt destroyH6 them that speakH1696 lies:H3577 JehovahH3068 abhorrethH8581 the blood-thirstyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 man.H376
7 But as for me, in the abundanceH7230 of thy lovingkindnessH2617 will I comeH935 into thy house:H1004 In thy fearH3374 will I worshipH7812 toward thy holyH6944 temple.H1964
8 LeadH5148 me, O Jehovah,H3068 in thy righteousnessH6666 because of mine enemies;H8324 Make thy wayH1870 straightH3474 before my face.H6440
9 For there is no faithfulnessH3559 in their mouth;H6310 Their inwardH7130 part is very wickedness;H1942 Their throatH1627 is an openH6605 sepulchre;H6913 They flatterH2505 with their tongue.H3956
10 Hold them guilty,H816 O God;H430 Let them fallH5307 by their own counsels;H4156 Thrust them outH5080 in the multitudeH7230 of their transgressions;H6588 For they have rebelledH4784 against thee.
11 But let all those that take refugeH2620 in thee rejoice,H8055 Let them everH5769 shout for joy,H7442 because thou defendestH5526 them: Let them also that loveH157 thy nameH8034 be joyfulH5970 in thee.
12 For thou wilt blessH1288 the righteous;H6662 O Jehovah,H3068 thou wilt compassH5849 him with favorH7522 as with a shield.H6793
