1.    For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. 
 
2.    Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
 
3.    Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
 
4.    O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep       watch.
 
5.    For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
 
6.    The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
 
7.    Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
 
8.    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.
 
9.    Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine       enemies; Make thy way straight before my face.
 
10.    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.
 
11.    Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.
 
12.    But let all those that take refuge in thee rejoice, Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
 
13.    For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.
