1
the
chief
Musician
upon
Nehiloth,
A
Psalm
of
David.
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
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.
