[1] For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
[2] Give ear to my words, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, consider my meditation.
[3] Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do I pray.
[4] O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.
[5] For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with Thee.
[6] The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
[7] Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.
[8] But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.
[9] O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my face.
[10] For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their inward part is a yawning gulf, their throat is an open sepulchre; they make smooth their tongue.
[11] Hold them guilty, O God, let them fall by their own counsels; cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against Thee.
[12] So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, they shall ever shout for joy, and Thou shalt shelter them; let them also that love Thy name exult in Thee.
[13] For Thou dost bless the righteous; O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.
