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! |
