To the director for Neʹhi·loth.^*1 A melody of David.

¹ To my sayings do give ear, O Jehovah; Do understand my sighing.

² Do pay attention to the sound of my cry for help, O my King and my God, because to you I pray.

³ O Jehovah, in the morning you will hear my voice; In the morning I shall address myself to you and be on the watch.

⁴ For you are not a God taking delight in wickedness; No one bad^*1 may reside for any time with you.

⁵ No boasters may take their stand in front of your eyes. You do hate all those practicing what is hurtful;

⁶ You will destroy those speaking a lie. A man of bloodshed^*1 and deception Jehovah detests.

⁷ As for me, in the abundance of your loving-kindness^*1 I shall come into your house, I shall bow down toward your holy temple^*2 in fear of you.

⁸ O Jehovah, lead me in your righteousness by reason of my foes; Make your way smooth before me.

⁹ For in their^*1 mouth there is nothing trustworthy; Their inward part is adversity indeed. Their throat is an opened burial place; A smooth tongue they use.^*2

¹⁰ God will certainly hold them guilty; They will fall due to their own counsels. In the multitude of their transgressions let there be a dispersing^*1 of them, Because they have rebelled against you.

¹¹ But all those taking refuge in you will rejoice; To time indefinite^*1 they will cry out joyfully. And you will block approach to them, And those loving your name will exult in you.

¹² For you yourself will bless anyone righteous, O Jehovah; As with a large shield, with approval you will surround them.
