1 To the leader of the flute orchestra. A Psalm of David. Pay attention to my words, O Lord, consider my groaning
2 Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to You, I pray.
4 You are not God who delights in evil; evil is not before you.
5 The proud cannot stand before you; You hate all evildoers.
6 You destroy those who tell lies; murderous and treacherous people, Jehovah abhors them.
7 But I, by your great mercy, will enter your House; out of respect I will bow down to look at your holy House.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of my enemies, and make thy way straight before me.
9 No word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is full of destruction. Their throat is like a desert grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.
10 Declare that they are guilty, O God! Their bad deeds will be their downfall. Remove them from your sight because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all those who find safety in You rejoice; let them always sing for joy. Cover them with your protection, let those who love your name rejoice in you.
12 Indeed, you, Jehovah, bless the righteous; you surround them with your kindness like a shield.
Amen!!
