1For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
1Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
2Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray.
2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.
3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.
4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear toward your holy temple.
7But 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.
8Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make my way plain before your face.
8Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10Judge them, O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.
10Destroy 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.
11But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever , and you shall dwell among them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.
11But 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.
12For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favor.
12For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
