1. For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee do I pray.
3. O LORD, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.
4. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5. The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6. Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the LORD abhorreth the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7. But as for me, in the multitude of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8. Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way plain before my face.
