1Give ear to my words, O Yahweh,
Consider my meditation.
2Give heed to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God,
For to You I pray.
3O Yahweh, in the morning, #5:3 Or May You hearYou will hear my voice;
In the morning I will order my #5:3 Or sacrificeprayer to You and eagerly watch.
4¶For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;
Evil does not sojourn with You.
5The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
6You destroy those who speak falsehood;
Yahweh abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7But as for me, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness I will enter Your house,
# 5:7 Or Toward At Your holy temple I will worship in fear of You.

Make Your way #5:8 Or smoothstraight before me.
9There is nothing #5:9 Or truereliable in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction itself.
Their throat is an open grave;
They #5:9 Or make their tongue smoothflatter with their tongue.
10Hold them guilty, O God;
By their own devices let them fall!
In the abundance of their transgressions thrust them out,
For they are rebellious against You.

Let them ever sing for joy;
And #5:11 Or You sheltermay You shelter them,
That those who love Your name may exult in You.
12For it is You who blesses the righteous one, O Yahweh,
You surround him with favor as with a large shield.
