| 1LORD, listen to my words, consider my groaning. | 1For the choir director; for flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning. |
| 2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for unto you will I pray. | 2Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray. |
| 3LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I will pray to you, and I will watch for your answer. | 3In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. |
| 4Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you. | 4For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You. |
| 5Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness. | 5The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. |
| 6You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the person of bloodshed and deceit. | 6You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. |
| 7But I, because of the abundance of your gracious love, may come into your house. In awe of you, I will worship in your holy Temple. | 7But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You. |
| 8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your path straight before me. | 8O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me. |
| 9But as for the wicked, they do not speak truth at all. Inside them there is only wickedness. Their throat is an open grave, on their tongue is deceitful flattery. | 9There is nothing reliable in what they say; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue. |
| 10Declare them guilty, God! Let them fall by their own schemes. Drive them away because of their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against you. | 10Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You. |
| 11Let all those who take refuge in you rejoice! Let them shout for joy forever, and may you protect them. Let those who love your name exult in you. | 11But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You. |
| 12Indeed, you will bless the righteous one, LORD, like a large shield, you will surround him with favor. | 12For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield. |
