| 1To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. | 1LORD, listen to my words, consider my groaning. |
| 2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. | 2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for unto you will I pray. |
| 3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. | 3LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I will pray to you, and I will watch for your answer. |
| 4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. | 4Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you. |
| 5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. | 5Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness. |
| 6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. | 6You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the person of bloodshed and deceit. |
| 7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. | 7But I, because of the abundance of your gracious love, may come into your house. In awe of you, I will worship in your holy Temple. |
| 8Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. | 8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your path straight before me. |
| 9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. | 9But as for the wicked, they do not speak truth at all. Inside them there is only wickedness. Their throat is an open grave, on their tongue is deceitful flattery. |
| 10Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. | 10Declare them guilty, God! Let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them away because of their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against you. |
| 11But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. | 11Let all those who take refuge in you rejoice! Let them shout for joy forever, and may you protect them. Let those who love your name exult in you. |
| 12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. | 12Indeed, you will bless the righteous one, LORD, like a large shield, you will surround him with favor. |
