¹ For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.² Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.³ Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do I pray.⁴ O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.⁵ For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with Thee.⁶ The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

⁷ Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; the LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.⁸ But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.⁹ O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my face.¹⁰ For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their inward part is a yawning gulf, their throat is an open sepulchre; they make smooth their tongue.¹¹ Hold them guilty, O God, let them fall by their own counsels; ¹² So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, they shall ever shout for joy, and Thou shalt shelter them;

¹³ For Thou dost bless the righteous; O LORD, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.
