- To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.' — A Psalm of David.
My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
- 2
- Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.
- 3
- Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.
- 4
- For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.
- 5
- The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.
- 6
- Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.
- 7
- And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.
- 8
- O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,
- 9
- For there is no stability in their mouth.
Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.
- 10
- Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.
- 11
- And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.
- 12
- For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!
