- [To the chiefe musition vpon Nehiloth,
a psalme of Dauid.]
- 1
- Geue eare vnto my wordes O God: vnderstande thou my pensifnesse.
- 2
- Hearken thou vnto the voyce of my crying my kyng and my Lorde: for vnto thee I wyll make my prayer.
- 3
- Thou shalt heare my voyce betymes O God: I wyll early in the morning direct [a prayer] vnto thee, and I wyll looke [for helpe from thee.]
- 4
- For thou art the Lorde that hath no pleasure in wickednesse: neither can any euyll dwell with thee.
- 5
- Suche as be foolishe, can not stande in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquitie.
- 6
- Thou wilt destroy them that make a lye: God wyll abhorre both the bloodthirstie and deceiptfull man.
- 7
- As for me I wyll come into thyne house, [trusting] in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy feare I will humble my selfe in thyne holy temple.
- 8
- Leade me O God in thy righteousnesse, because of myne enemies: make thy way playne before my face.
- 9
- For no trueth is in their mouth, their inwarde partes are very wickednesse: their throte is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue.
- 10
- Destroy thou them O Lord, let them perishe through their owne counsailes: cast them out in the multitude of their vngodlinesse, for they haue rebelled against thee.
- 11
- And all they that trust in thee wyll reioyce, they wyll triumph for euer, because thou defendest them: and they that loue thy name, wyll be ioyfull in thee.
- 12
- For thou O God wylt blesse the righteous: and thou wylt compasse hym about with beneuolence, as with a shielde.
