King James Version KJV
1 For the leader. On wind instruments. A psalm of David: Give ear to my words, ADONAI, consider my inmost thoughts.
1
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Listen to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I pray to you.
2
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 ADONAI, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I lay my needs before you and wait expectantly.
3
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; evil cannot remain with you.
4
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 Those who brag cannot stand before your eyes, you hate all who do evil,
5
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 you destroy those who tell lies, ADONAI detests men of blood and deceivers.
6
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 But I can enter your house because of your great grace and love; I will bow down toward your holy temple in reverence for you.
7
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.
8 Lead me, ADONAI, in your righteousness because of those lying in wait for me; make your way straight before me.
8
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 For in their mouths there is nothing sincere, within them are calamities, their throats are open tombs, they flatter with their tongues.
9
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 God, declare them guilty! Let them fall through their own intrigues, For their many crimes, throw them down; since they have rebelled against you.
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 who take refuge in you rejoice, let them forever shout for joy! Shelter them; and they will be glad, those who love your name.
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 you, ADONAI, bless the righteous; you surround them with favor like a shield.
12
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
