Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning.
1
To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.' -- A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
2 Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you.
2
Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.
3 Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD . Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
3
Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.
4 O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.
4
For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.
5 Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil.
5
The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.
6 You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers.
6
Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.
7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.
7
And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.
8 Lead me in the right path, O LORD, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.
8
O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,
9 My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery.
9
For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.
10 O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
10
Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.
11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.
11
And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.
12 For you bless the godly, O LORD ; you surround them with your shield of love.
12
For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
