1 Give ear to my words, O Lord;consider my groaning.
2 Give attention to the sound of my cry,my King and my God,for to you do I pray.
3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.
4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;evil may not dwell with you.
5 The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;you hate all evildoers.
6 You destroy those who speak lies;the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,will enter your house.I will bow down toward your holy templein the fear of you.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousnessbecause of my enemies; make your way straight before me.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth;their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave;they flatter with their tongue.
10 Make them bear their guilt, O God;let them fall by their own counsels;because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;let them ever sing for joy,and spread your protection over them,that those who love your name may exult in you.
12 For you bless the righteous, O Lord;you cover him with favor as with a shield.
