New International Version

International Standard Version

1For the director of music. For pipes. A psalm of David. Listen to my words, LORD, consider my lament.

1LORD, listen to my words, consider my groaning.

2Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.

2Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for unto you will I pray.

3In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

3LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice; in the morning I will pray to you, and I will watch for your answer.

4For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome.

4Indeed, you aren't a God who delights in wickedness; evil will never dwell with you.

5The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;

5Boastful ones will not stand before you; you hate all those who practice wickedness.

6you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, LORD, detest.

6You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the person of bloodshed and deceit.

7But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.

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.

8Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies-- make your way straight before me.

8LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your path straight before me.

9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.

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.

10Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.

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.

11But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in 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.

12Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

12Indeed, you will bless the righteous one, LORD, like a large shield, you will surround him with favor.
