[[To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth.] A Psalm Chapter of David.]
[1] Hear my words, O Lord: understand my meditation.
[2] Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God: for unto thee do I pray.
[3] Hear my voice in the morning, O Lord : for in the morning will I direct me unto thee, and I will wait.
[4] For thou art not a God that loveth wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
[5] The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that work iniquity.
[6] Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the Lord will abhor the bloody man and deceitful.
[7] But I will come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thine holy temple.
[8] Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies: make thy way plain before my face.
[9] For no constancy is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throat is an open sepulcher, and they flatter with their tongue.
[10] Destroy them, O God: let them fall from their counsels: cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they have rebelled against thee.
[11] And let all them that trust in thee, rejoice and triumph forever, and cover thou them: and let them, that love thy name, rejoice in thee.
[12] For thou Lord wilt bless the righteous, and with favor wilt compass him, as with a shield.
