2Give ear to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, because it is to you that I pray.

3LORD JEHOVAH, at dawn you will hear my voice and at dawn I shall be ready and shall appear before you.

4Because you are God, and desire no evil, and no evil one will dwell with you.

5Neither will the proud stand before your eyes; you have hated all workers of falsehood.

6And you will destroy those who speak lies; and the man who sheds blood and the deceiver, LORD JEHOVAH will reject.

7And I shall enter your house in the multitude of your kindness and I shall worship in the temple of your Holiness.

8In your awe, lead me, LORD JEHOVAH, and in your righteousness straighten your road in front of me, because of my enemies

9Because there is no righteousness in their mouths, but evil is within them, and their throats are like opened tombs and their tongues subvert.

10God will condemn them; they will fall from their counsels, and in the multitude of their evils cast them out, because they have provoked you.

11All who hope in you will rejoice, and to eternity they will praise you, and you will dwell in them, and all who love your name will be strengthened in you.

12Because you will bless the righteous ones, LORD JEHOVAH; like an acceptable shield you will cover me.
