| 1To the Chief Musician. With flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my meditation. | 1LORD, listen to my words, consider my groaning. |
| 2Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray. | 2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for unto you will I pray. |
| 3My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I 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 You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You. | 4Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you. |
| 5The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity. | 5Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness. |
| 6You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty 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 Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your 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 Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your 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 destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; 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. |
| 10Pronounce 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. | 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 rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. | 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 You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield. | 12Indeed, you will bless the righteous one, LORD, like a large shield, you will surround him with favor. |
