For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David.
1Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament.2Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.3In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.4For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.5The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;6you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest.7But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down towards your holy temple.8Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies – make your way straight before me.9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.10Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.11But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.12Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favour as with a shield.
1To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groaning. (Ps 39:3)2Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. (Ps 65:2; Ps 84:3)3O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you[1] and watch. (Ps 88:13; Ps 119:147; Ps 130:6; Hab 2:1)4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you.5The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. (Ps 1:5; Ps 11:5; Ps 73:3; Ps 75:4; Hab 1:13)6You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. (Ps 4:2; Ps 55:23; Re 21:8; Re 22:15)7But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you. (1Ki 8:29; Ps 11:4; Ps 79:1; Ps 132:7)8Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me. (Ezr 8:21; Ps 23:3; Ps 25:4)9For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. (Ps 12:2; Ps 52:2; Pr 2:16; Pr 7:5; Jer 5:16; Ro 3:13)10Make 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. (2Sa 15:31; 2Sa 17:14; 2Sa 17:23; Isa 24:6)11But 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. (1Sa 2:1; Ps 2:12; Ps 9:2; Ps 33:21)12For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield. (Ps 35:2; Ps 103:4; Ps 115:13)
