Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.

In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
4 For thou art not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with thee.
4
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.
5 Neither shall the transgressors continue in thy sight: thou hatest, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
5

6 Thou wilt destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
6

9 For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
9
Not 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.
10 Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
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 that trust on thee be glad in thee: they shall exult for ever, and thou shalt dwell among them; and all that love thy name shall rejoice in thee.
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 thou, Lord, shalt bless the righteous: thou hast compassed us as with a shield of favour.
12
Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
