Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

The foolish shall not stand ¹in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the ¹bloody and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward ¹thy holy temple.

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of ¹mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

For there is no ¹faithfulness in ²their mouth; their inward part is ³very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

¹Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall ²by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou ¹defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou ¹compass him as with a shield.
