[[To him that excelleth upon Nehiloth.] A Psalm Chapter of David.][1]Hear my words, O Lord: understand my meditation.[2]Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God: for unto thee do I pray.[3]Hear my voice in the morning, O Lord : for in the morning will I direct me unto thee, and I will wait.[4]For thou art not a God that loveth wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.[5]The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: for thou hatest all them that work iniquity.[6]Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the Lord will abhor the bloody man and deceitful.[7]But I will come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thine holy temple.[8]Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies: make thy way plain before my face.[9]For no constancy is in their mouth: within, they are very corruption: their throat is an open sepulcher, and they flatter with their tongue.[10]Destroy them, O God: let them fall from their counsels: cast them out for the multitude of their iniquities, because they have rebelled against thee.[11]And let all them that trust in thee, rejoice and triumph forever, and cover thou them: and let them, that love thy name, rejoice in thee.[12]For thou Lord wilt bless the righteous, and with favor wilt compass him, as with a shield.
