Give Ear to My Words

1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.+ 2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.+ 3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.+ 4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.+ 5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.+ 6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.+ 7But 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.+ 8Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.+ 9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.+ 10Destroy 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.+ 11But 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.+ 12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.+
