Lyrics
Listen to my words, Lord,
Consider my lament.
Hear my cry for help,
My King and my God,
For to you I pray.
In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
In the morning I lay my requests before you
And wait expectantly.
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
With you, evil people are not welcome.
The arrogant cannot stand
In your presence.
You hate all who do wrong;
You destroy those who tell lies.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
You, Lord, detest.
But I, by your great love,
Can come into your house;
In reverence I bow down
Toward your holy temple.
Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness
Because of my enemiesโ
Make your way straight before me.
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
Their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;
With their tongues they tell lies.
Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
For they have rebelled against you.
But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
Let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
That those who love your name may rejoice in you.
Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
You surround them with your favor as with a shield.
