^1 (0) For the leader. On wind instruments. A psalm of David:

^2 (1) Give ear to my words, Adonai,
consider my inmost thoughts.
^3 (2) Listen to my cry for help,
my king and my God, for I pray to you.
^4 (3) Adonai, in the morning you will hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my needs before you
and wait expectantly.

^5 (4) For you are not a God
who takes pleasure in wickedness;
evil cannot remain with you.
^6 (5) Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes,
you hate all who do evil,
^7 (6) you destroy those who tell lies,
Adonai detests men of blood and deceivers.

^8 (7) But I can enter your house
because of your great grace and love;
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in reverence for you.
^9 (8) Lead me, Adonai, in your righteousness
because of those lying in wait for me;
make your way straight before me.
^10 (9) For in their mouths there is nothing sincere,
within them are calamities,
their throats are open tombs,
they flatter with their tongues.
^11 (10) God, declare them guilty!
Let them fall through their own intrigues,
For their many crimes, throw them down;
since they have rebelled against you.

^12 (11) But let all who take refuge in you rejoice,
let them forever shout for joy!
Shelter them; and they will be glad,
those who love your name.
^13 (12) For you, Adonai, bless the righteous;
you surround them with favor like a shield.
