To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ אֶל־הַנְּחִילֹות מִזְמֹור לְדָוִד׃

2 אֲמָרַי הַאֲזִינָה ׀ יְהוָה בִּינָה הֲגִיגִי׃

3 הַקְשִׁיבָה ׀ לְקֹול שַׁוְעִי מַלְכִּי וֵאלֹהָי כִּי־אֵלֶיךָ אֶתְפַּלָּל׃

4 יְהוָה בֹּקֶר תִּשְׁמַע קֹולִי בֹּקֶר אֶעֱרָךְ־לְךָ וַאֲצַפֶּה׃

5 כִּי ׀ לֹא אֵל־חָפֵץ רֶשַׁע ׀ אָתָּה לֹא יְגֻרְךָ רָע׃

6 לֹא־יִתְיַצְּבוּ הֹולְלִים לְנֶגֶד עֵינֶיךָ נֵאתָ כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן׃

7 תְּאַבֵּד דֹּבְרֵי כָזָב אִישׁ־דָּמִים וּמִרְמָה יְתָעֵב ׀ יְהוָה׃

8 וַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבֹוא בֵיתֶךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵיכַל־קָדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶךָ׃

9 יְהוָה ׀ נְחֵנִי בְצִדְקָתֶךָ לְמַעַן שֹׁורְרָי [הֹושַׁר כ] (הַיְשַׁר ק) לְפָנַי דַּרְכֶּךָ׃

10 כִּי אֵין בְּפִיהוּ נְכֹונָה קִרְבָּם הַוֹּות קֶבֶר־פָּתוּחַ גְּרֹונָם לְשֹׁונָם יַחֲלִיקוּן׃

11 הַאֲשִׁימֵם ׀ אֱ‍לֹהִים יִפְּלוּ מִמֹּעֲצֹותֵיהֶם בְּרֹב פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵמֹו כִּי־מָרוּ בָךְ׃

12 וְיִשְׂמְחוּ כָל־חֹוסֵי בָךְ לְעֹולָם יְרַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵךְ עָלֵימֹו וְיַעְלְצוּ בְךָ אֹהֲבֵי שְׁמֶךָ׃

13 כִּי־אַתָּה תְּבָרֵךְ צַדִּיק יְהוָה כַּצִּנָּה רָצֹון תַּעְטְרֶנּוּ׃
