1For the leader, upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
2Give ear to my words, YHWH; consider my meditation.
3Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I pray.
4YHWH, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I set in order for you, and I watch.
5For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with you.
6The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all workers of iniquity.
7You destroy those who speak falsehood; a man (ish) of bloods and deceit YHWH abhors.
8But I, in the abundance of your lovingkindness, I will come into your house; I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you.
9YHWH, lead me in your righteousness because of those who lie in wait for me; make straight before my face your way.
10For there is nothing right in his mouth; their inward part is destruction; an open grave is their throat; their tongue they make smooth.
11Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; in the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.
12And let all who take refuge in you rejoice; forever let them shout for joy, and you shall shelter over them; and let those who love your name exult in you.
13For you, you bless the righteous, YHWH; like a shield with favor you encompass him.
