1 Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for unto thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; early will I present myself unto thee and wait.
4 For thou art not a God that loves wickedness; neither shall one who is evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish (those who are governed by carnal thoughts or desires) shall not stand in thy sight; thou dost hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy those that speak lies: the Lord will abominate the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.
