| 1For the choir director; for flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning. | 1For the music director, to be accompanied by wind instruments; a psalm of David. Listen to what I say, LORD! Carefully consider my complaint! |
| 2Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray. | 2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I am praying to you! |
| 3In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. | 3LORD, in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer. |
| 4For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You. | 4Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you. |
| 5The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. | 5Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly. |
| 6You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. | 6You destroy liars; the LORD despises violent and deceitful people. |
| 7But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You. | 7But as for me, because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house; I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you. |
| 8O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me. | 8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of those who wait to ambush me, remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me! |
| 9There is nothing reliable in what they say; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue. | 9For they do not speak the truth; their stomachs are like the place of destruction, their throats like an open grave, their tongues like a steep slope leading into it. |
| 10Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You. | 10Condemn them, O God! May their own schemes be their downfall! Drive them away because of their many acts of insurrection, for they have rebelled against you. |
| 11But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You. | 11But may all who take shelter in you be happy! May they continually shout for joy! Shelter them so that those who are loyal to you may rejoice! |
| 12For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield. | 12Certainly you reward the godly, LORD. Like a shield you protect them in your good favor. |
