1Listen to my words, Lord;consider my sighing.2Pay attention to the sound of my cry,my King and my God,for I pray to You.3At daybreak, Lord, You hear my voice;at daybreak I plead my case to You and watch expectantly.4For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;evil cannot dwell with You.5The boastful cannot stand in Your presence;You hate all evildoers.6You destroy those who tell lies;the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery.7But I enter Your houseby the abundance of Your faithful love;I bow down toward Your holy templein reverential awe of You.8Lord, lead me in Your righteousnessbecause of my adversaries;[A]5:8 Or of those who lie in wait for memake Your way straight before me.9For there is nothing reliable in what they say;[B]5:9 Lit in his mouthdestruction is within them;their throat is an open grave;they flatter with their tongues.10Punish them, God;let them fall by their own schemes.Drive them out because of their many crimes,for they rebel against You.11But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;let them shout for joy forever.May You shelter them,and may those who love Your name boast about You.12For You, Lord, bless the righteous one;You surround him with favor like a shield.
