1Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

1Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm for David.

1 Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.

2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

2Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.

2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

3O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

3Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.

3O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

4For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.

4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

5The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

5In the morning I will stand before thee, and I will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.

5The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

6Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.

6Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

7But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

7Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.

7But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

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

8But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.

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

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

9Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.

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

10Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

10For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.

10Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

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

11Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.

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

12For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.

12But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee.

12For thou wilt bless the righteous; O Jehovah, thou wilt compass him with favor as with a shield.

13(not in this translation)

13For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
