| 1 [[To the Chief Musician. For the Flutes. A Melody of David.]] 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 engulfing ruin,–An opened sepulchre, is their throat, With their tongue, speak they smooth things. |

|
|
| 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 shield–with good pleasure, wilt thou encompass him. |
