1 To my words, give ear, O Yahweh, Understand thou my softly murmured prayer:2 Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for, unto thee, do I pray.3 O Yahweh! in the morning, shalt thou hear my voice, In the morning, will I set in order unto thee, and keep watch;4 For, not a GOD finding pleasure in lawlessness, art thou, and wrong can be no guest of thine:5 Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes,Thou hatest all workers of iniquity:6 Thou wilt destroy them who speak falsehood,The man of bloodshed and of deceit, Yahweh abhorreth.7 But, I, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, will enter thy house, I will bow down towards thy holy temple, in reverence of thee:8 O Yahweh! lead me in thy righteousness, because of mine adversaries, Make even, before me, thy way:9 For in his mouth is nothing worthy of trust, Their inward purpose, is engulphing ruin,An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things.10 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels,Into the throng of their own transgressions, thrust them down, For they have rebelled against thee:11 That all may rejoice who seek refuge in thee, to times age-abiding, may shout in triumph, that thou wilt protect them, and they may leap for joy in thee who are lovers of thy Name.12 For, thou, wilt bless the righteous man, O Yahweh, As with an all-covering shieldwith good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him.
