1 To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.' -- A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
1
Listen to my words, Lord; consider my sighing.
2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.
2
Pay attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to You.
3 Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.
3
At daybreak, Lord, You hear my voice; at daybreak I plead my case to You and watch expectantly.
4 For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.
4
For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil cannot lodge with You.
5 The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.
5
The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all evildoers.
6 Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.
6
You destroy those who tell lies; the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery.
7 And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.
7
But I enter Your house by the abundance of Your faithful love; I bow down toward Your holy temple in reverential awe of You.
8 O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,
8
Lord, lead me in Your righteousness, because of my adversaries; make Your way straight before me.
9 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.
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.
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.
10
Punish them, God; let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them out because of their many crimes, for they rebel against You.
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.
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.
12 For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
12
For You, Lord, bless the righteous one; You surround him with favor like a shield.
