1 (To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.) Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8 Lead me, O LORD, 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.

10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

1To the chiefe musician vpon Nehiloth, A Psalme of Dauid. Giue eare to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

2Hearken vnto the voice of my crie, my King, and my God: for vnto thee will I pray.

3My voyce shalt thou heare in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer vnto thee, and will looke vp.

4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickednesse: neither shall euill dwell with thee.

5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest al workers of iniquity

6Thou shalt destroy them that speake leasing: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie and deceitfull man.

7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy feare will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8Lead me O Lord, in thy righteousnesse, because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

9For there is no faithfulnes in their mouth, their inward part is very wickednesse: their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue.

10Destroy thou them, O God, let them fall by their owne counsels: cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they haue rebelled against thee.

11But let all those that put their trust in thee, reioyce: let them euer shout for ioy; because thou defendest them: let them also that loue thy name, be ioyfull in thee.

12For thou, Lord, wilt blesse the righteous: with fauour wilt thou compasse him as with a shield.

1 For the leader; with wind instruments. A psalm of David.

2 Give ear to my words, O LORD; understand my sighing.

3 Attend to the sound of my cry, my king and my God! For to you I will pray, LORD;

4 in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I will plead before you and wait.

5 You are not a god who delights in evil; no wicked person finds refuge with you;

6 the arrogant cannot stand before your eyes. You hate all who do evil;

7 you destroy those who speak falsely. A bloody and fraudulent man the LORD abhors.

8 But I, through the abundance of your mercy, will enter into your house. I will bow down toward your holy sanctuary out of fear of you.

9 LORD, guide me in your justice because of my foes; make straight your way before me.

10 For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their heart is corrupt. Their throat is an open grave; on their tongue are subtle lies.

11 Declare them guilty, God; make them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many sins; for they have rebelled against you.

12Then all who trust in you will be glad and forever shout for joy. You will protect them and those will rejoice in you who love your name.

13 For you, LORD, bless the just one; you surround him with favor like a shield.

v 1-3 This Psalm of David seems to be a morning prayer.

 

 

v 4-7 David has confidence in God’s dealing with the wicked, but looks to Him for mercy in his own behalf.

 

 

 

 

v 8-12. David asks for God’s guidance, and His judgment on the wicked. He calls upon the righteous to rejoice, knowing God will bless and protect them.
