¹ [To the chiefe musician vpon Nehiloth, A Psalme of Dauid.] Giue eare to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. ² Hearken vnto the voice of my crie, my King, and my God: for vnto thee will I pray. ³ My voyce shalt thou heare in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer vnto thee, and will looke vp. ⁴ For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickednesse: neither shall euill dwell with thee. ⁵ The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest al workers of iniquity ⁶ Thou shalt destroy them that speake leasing: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie and deceitfull man.

⁷ But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy feare will I worship toward thy holy temple. ⁸ Lead me O Lord, in thy righteousnesse, because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. ⁹ For there is no faithfulnes in their mouth, their inward part is very wickednesse: their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue. ¹⁰ Destroy thou them, O God, let them fall by their owne counsels: cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they haue rebelled against thee. ¹¹ But let all those that put their trust in thee, reioyce: let them euer shout for ioy; because thou defendest them: let them also that loue thy name, be ioyfull in thee. ¹² For thou, Lord, wilt blesse the righteous: with fauour wilt thou compasse him as with a shield.
