1
To the Chief Musician. With flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my meditation.
2
Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray.
3
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
4
For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.
5
The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.
6
You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7
But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
8
Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.
9
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.
10
Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.
