¹ Give ear to my words, LORD.
Consider my meditation. ² Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, ³ LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice. ⁴ For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness.
Evil can’t live with you. ⁵ The arrogant will not stand in your sight. ⁶ You will destroy those who speak lies. ⁷ But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. ⁸ Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies.
Make your way straight before my face. ⁹ For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. ¹⁰ Hold them guilty, God.
Let them fall by their own counsels.
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, ¹¹ But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice.
Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them.
Let them also who love your name be joyful in you. ¹² For you will bless the righteous.
