1. Give ear to my words, O Lord;consider my meditation.
2. Listen to the voice of my cry,my King and my God,for to You will I pray.
3. O Lord, in the morning You will hear my voice;in the morning I will direct my prayer to You,and I will watch expectantly.
4. For You are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness,nor will evil dwell with You.
5. Those who boast will not stand in Your sight;You hate all workers of iniquity.
6. You will destroy those who speak lies;the Lord abhorsthe bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7. But as for me, in the abundance of Your mercyI will enter Your house;in fear of You I will worshipat Your holy temple.
8. Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousnessbecause of my enemies;make Your way straight before me.
