Psalms

¹ For the choir director. For the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Yahweh, Consider my meditation.

² For to You I pray.

³ In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

⁴ Evil does not sojourn with You.

⁵ You hate all workers of iniquity.

⁶ Yahweh abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

⁷ At Your holy temple I will worship in fear of You.

⁸ Make Your way straight before me.

⁹ Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.

¹⁰ By their own devices let them fall! In the abundance of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You.

¹¹ Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You.

¹² You surround him with favor as with a large shield.
