1Listen to my words, LORD; consider my sighing.1For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
2Pay attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.2Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.
3In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case to you and watch expectantly.3In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.
4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot dwell with you.4For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You.
5The boastful cannot stand in your sight; you hate all evildoers.5The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.
6You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors violent and treacherous people.6You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7But I enter your house by the abundance of your faithful love; I bow down toward your holy temple in reverential awe of you.7But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.
8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my adversaries; make your way straight before me.8Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.
9For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongues.9For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.
10Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel against you.10Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them shout for joy forever. May you shelter them, and may those who love your name boast about you.11But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
12For you, LORD, bless the righteous one; you surround him with favor like a shield.12For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
