1For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning her that inherits. Listen to my words, O Lord, attend to my cry.
1For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David. Give ear to my words, Yahweh. Consider my meditation.
2Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King, and my God: for to you, O Lord, will I pray .
2Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.
3In the morning you shall hear my voice: in the morning will I wait upon you, and will look up.
3Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
4For you are not a god that desires iniquity; neither shall the worker of wickedness dwell with you.
4For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can’t live with you.
5Neither shall the transgressors continue in your sight: you hate, O Lord, all them that work iniquity.
5The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.
6You will destroy all that speak falsehood: the Lord abhors the bloody and deceitful man.
6You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7But I will enter into your house in the multitude of your mercy: I will worship in your fear toward your holy temple .
7But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make my way plain before your face.
8Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.
9For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain; their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
10Judge them , O God; let them fail of their counsels: cast them out according to the abundance of their ungodliness; for they have provoked you, O Lord.
10Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
11But let all that trust on you be glad in you: they shall exult for ever, and you shall dwell among them; and all that love your name shall rejoice in you.
11But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
12For you, Lord, shall bless the righteous: you have compassed us as with a shield of favor.
12For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
