[For the music director, to be accompanied by wind instruments; a psalm of David.] Listen to what I say, LORD! Carefully consider my complaint! |
2
|
Pay attention to my cry for help, my king and my God, for I am praying to you! |
3
|
LORD, in the morning you will hear me; in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer. |
4
|
Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you. |
5
|
Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly. |
6
|
You destroy liars; the LORD despises violent and deceitful people. |
7
|
But as for me, because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house; I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you. |
8
|
LORD, lead me in your righteousness because of those who wait to ambush me, remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me! |
9
|
For they do not speak the truth; their stomachs are like the place of destruction, their throats like an open grave, their tongues like a steep slope leading into it. |
10
|
Condemn them, O God! May their own schemes be their downfall! Drive them away because of their many acts of insurrection, for they have rebelled against you. |
11
|
But may all who take shelter in you be happy! May they continually shout for joy! Shelter them so that those who are loyal to you may rejoice! |
12
|
Certainly you reward the godly, LORD. Like a shield you protect them in your good favor. |
