¹To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.' --A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.+ ²Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually.+ ³Jehovah, at morning Thou hearest my voice, At morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.+ ⁴For not a God desiring wickedness art Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not.+ ⁵The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity.+ ⁶Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate.+ ⁷And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear.+ ⁸O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,+ ⁹For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart is mischiefs, An open grave is their throat, Their tongue they make smooth.+ ¹⁰Declare 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.+ ¹¹And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.+ ¹²For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him!+
