| 1For the choir director; for flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning. | 1O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. |
| 2Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray. | 2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you. |
| 3In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. | 3Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. |
| 4For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You. | 4O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked. |
| 5The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. | 5Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil. |
| 6You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. | 6You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers. |
| 7But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You. | 7Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe. |
| 8O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me. | 8Lead me in the right path, O LORD, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow. |
| 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. | 9My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery. |
| 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. | 10O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against 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. | 11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy. |
| 12For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield. | 12For you bless the godly, O LORD; you surround them with your shield of love. |
