1. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
2. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
3. O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.
4. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5. The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6. Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7. But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8. Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.
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.
