A psalm of David.
1 Listen
to my words, Lord,
consider my lament.
2 Hear my
cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
3 In the
morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.
4 For you
are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
with you, evil people are not welcome.
5 The
arrogant cannot stand
in your presence.
You hate
all who do wrong;
6 you destroy those who tell lies.
The
bloodthirsty and deceitful
you, Lord, detest.
7 But I,
by your great love,
can come into your house;
in
reverence I bow down
toward your holy temple.
8 Lead me,
Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies—
make your way straight before me.
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 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 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 Surely,
Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a
shield.
