To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth,
A Psalm of David.
Give ear
to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
02 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and
my God: for unto thee will I pray.
03 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O
Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto
thee, and will look up.
04 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in
wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
05 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou
hatest all workers of iniquity.
06 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing:
the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
07 But as for me, I will come into thy house in
the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will
I worship toward thy holy temple.

08 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because
of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my
face.
09 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
their inward part is very wickedness; their
throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with
their tongue.
10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by
their own counsels; cast them out in the
multitude of their transgressions; for they have
rebelled against thee.
11 But let all those that put their trust in thee
rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because
thou defendest them: let them also that love thy
name be joyful in thee.
12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with
favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
