King James New American Standard Bible
  • 1 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 up.
  • 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.
  • 1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning.
  • 2 Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.
  • 3 In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
  • 4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You.
  • 5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity.
  • 6 You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
  • 7 But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.
  • 8 O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me.
  • 9 There is nothing reliable in what they say; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.
  • 10 Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You.
  • 11 But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You.
  • 12 For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield.
