With Flutes. A Psalm of David. 1 Give ear to my words , O Lord , Consider my meditation. 2 Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God , For to You I will pray. 3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord ; In the morning I will direct it to You , And I will look up. 4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You. 5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity. 6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood ; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. 7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy ; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. 8 Lead me, O Lord , in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face. 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction ; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue. 10 Pronounce them guilty , O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You. 11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You ; Let them ever shout for joy , because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. 12 For You, O Lord , will bless the righteous ; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
