1 Give ear to my words, O Lord; ♦︎
consider my lamentation.
2 Hearken to the voice of my crying, my King and my God, ♦︎
for to you I make my prayer.
3 In the morning, Lord, you will hear my voice; ♦︎
early in the morning I make my appeal to you, and look up.
4 For you are the God who takes no pleasure in wickedness; ♦︎
no evil can dwell with you.
5 The boastful cannot stand in your sight; ♦︎
you hate all those that work wickedness.
6 You destroy those who speak lies; ♦︎
the bloodthirsty and deceitful the Lord will abhor.
7 But as for me, through the greatness of your mercy,
I will come into your house; ♦︎
I will bow down towards your holy temple in awe of you.
8 Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness,
because of my enemies; ♦︎
make your way straight before my face.
9 For there is no truth in their mouth,
in their heart is destruction, ♦︎
their throat is an open sepulchre,
and they flatter with their tongue.
10 Punish them, O God; ♦︎
let them fall through their own devices.
11 Because of their many transgressions cast them out, ♦︎
for they have rebelled against you.
12 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; ♦︎
let them sing out their joy for ever.
13 You will shelter them, ♦︎
so that those who love your name may exult in you.
14 For you, O Lord, will bless the righteous; ♦︎
and with your favour you will defend them as with a shield.
1 O Lord, rebuke me not in your wrath; ♦︎
neither chasten me in your fierce anger.
2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; ♦︎
Lord, heal me, for my bones are racked.
3 My soul also shakes with terror; ♦︎
how long, O Lord, how long?
4 Turn again, O Lord, and deliver my soul; ♦︎
save me for your loving mercys sake.
5 For in death no one remembers you; ♦︎
and who can give you thanks in the grave?
6 I am weary with my groaning; ♦︎
every night I drench my pillow
and flood my bed with my tears.
7 My eyes are wasted with grief ♦︎
and worn away because of all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all you that do evil, ♦︎
for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my supplication; ♦︎
the Lord will receive my prayer.
10 All my enemies shall be put to shame and confusion; ♦︎
they shall suddenly turn back in their shame.
