Listen to my words

Give ear to my words, O Lord , consider my meditation.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord ; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.(a)

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.(b)

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.(c)

Lead me, O Lord , in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.(d)

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.(e)

(f)

(g)

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.(h)

(i)

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.(j)

For thou, Lord , wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.(k)
