Listen to my words
1
For the chief musician; with wind instruments. A psalm of David. Listen to my call to you, Yahweh; think about my groanings.
2
Listen to the sound of my call, my King and my God, for it is to you that I pray.
3
Yahweh, in the morning you hear my cry; in the morning I will bring my petition to you and wait expectantly.
4
Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people will not be your guests.
5
The arrogant will not stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.
6
You will destroy liars; Yahweh despises violent and deceitful men.
7
But as for me, because of your great covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house; in reverence I will bow down toward your holy temple.
8
Oh Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your path straight before me.
9
For there is no truth in their mouth; their inward being is wicked; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue.
10
Declare them guilty, God; may their schemes be their downfall! Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
11
But may all those who take refuge in you rejoice; let them always shout for joy because you defend them; let them be joyful in you, those who love your name.
12
For you will bless the righteous, Yahweh; you will surround them with favor as with a shield.
