5For the director of music. For flutes. A psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing.H5329H5155H4210H1732H238H561H3068H995H1901

2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.H7181H6963H7773H4428H430H6419

3In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.H6963H8085H1242H3068H1242H6186H6822

4You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell.H410H2655H7562H7451H1481

5The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.H1984H3320H5869H8130H6466H205

6You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors.H6H1696H3577H3068H8581H1818H4820H376

7But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.H935H1004H7230H2617H3374H7812H6944H1964

8Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies--make straight your way before me.H5148H3068H6666H8324H1870H3474H6440

9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.H3559H6310H7130H1942H1627H6605H6913H2505H3956

10Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.H816H430H5307H4156H5080H7230H6588H4784

11But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.H2620H8055H5769H7442H5526H157H8034H5970

12For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.H3068H1288H6662H7522H5849H6793
