1. 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 you will I pray.
3. My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto you, and will look up.
4. For you are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with you.
5. The foolish shall not stand in your sight: you hate all workers of iniquity.
6. You shall destroy them that speak falsehood: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7. But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.
8. Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before my face.
