For the leader; on neḥiloth.^aFor the leader; on neḥiloth Meaning of Heb. uncertain. A psalm of David.

Give ear to my speech, O ETERNAL One;
consider my utterance.

Heed the sound of my cry,
my Sovereign and God,
for I pray to You.

Hear my voice, O ETERNAL One, at daybreak;
at daybreak I plead before You, and wait.

For You are not a God who desires wickedness;
evil cannot abide with You;

the wanton cannot endure in Your sight.
You detest all evildoers;

You doom those who speak lies;
deceitful murderers GOD abhors.

But I, through Your abundant love, enter Your house;
I bow down in awe at Your holy temple.

O ETERNAL One, lead me along Your righteous [path]^blead me along Your righteous [path] Or “as You are righteous, lead me.”
because of my watchful foes;
make Your way straight before me.

For there is no sincerity on their lips;^clips Lit. “mouth.”
their heart is [filled with] malice;
their throat is an open grave;
their tongue slippery.

Condemn them, O God;
let them fall by their own devices;
cast them out for their many crimes,
for they defy You.

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice,
ever jubilant as You shelter them;
and let those who love Your name exult in You.

For You surely bless the righteous, O ETERNAL One,
encompassing them with favor like a shield.
