3 At daybreak, Lord, You hear my voice; at daybreak I plead my case to You and watch expectantly.

3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
|
|
4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot lodge with You.

|
|
5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all evildoers.

|
|
6 You destroy those who tell lies; the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery.

8 Lord, lead me in Your righteousness, because of my adversaries; make Your way straight before me.

9 For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongues.
|
9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.
|
|
10 Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel against You.
|
10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
|
|
11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them shout for joy forever. May You shelter them, and may those who love Your name boast about You.
|
11 But 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.
|
|
12 For You, Lord, bless the righteous one; You surround him with favor like a shield.
|
12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
