- 1Listen to my words, LORD; consider my meditation.
- 2Hear the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I will pray.
- 3You will hear my voice in the morning, LORD; in the morning I will direct my prayer to you and will look up.
- 4For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not dwell with you.
- 5The foolish shall not stand in your sight; you hate all workers of iniquity.
- 6You will destroy those who speak lies; the LORD will abhor the bloodthirsty and deceitful person.
- 7But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy; in your fear I will worship toward your holy temple.
- 8Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face.
- 9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.
- 10Destroy them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
- 11But let all those who put their trust in you rejoice; let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them. Let those also who love your name be joyful in you.
- 12For you, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor you will surround him as with a shield.
