1. Lord, listen to my words. Understand my sadness.
|
1. To the chief Musician H5329 upon H413 Nehiloth H5155 , A Psalm H4210 of David H1732 . Give ear H238 to my words H561 , O LORD H3068 , consider H995 my meditation H1901 .
|
|
2. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, because I pray to you.
|
2. Hearken H7181 unto the voice H6963 of my cry H7773 , my King H4428 , and my God H430 : for H3588 unto H413 thee will I pray H6419 .
|
|
3. Lord, every morning you hear my voice. Every morning, I tell you what I need, and I wait for your answer.
|
3. My voice H6963 shalt thou hear H8085 in the morning H1242 , O LORD H3068 ; in the morning H1242 will I direct H6186 my prayer unto thee , and will look up H6822 .
|
|
4. You are not a God who is pleased with the wicked; you do not live with those who do evil.
|
4. For H3588 thou H859 art not H3808 a God H410 that hath pleasure H2655 in wickedness H7562 : neither H3808 shall evil H7451 dwell H1481 with thee.
|
|
5. Those people who make fun of you cannot stand before you. You hate all those who do evil.
|
5. The foolish H1984 shall not H3808 stand H3320 in H5048 thy sight H5869 : thou hatest H8130 all H3605 workers H6466 of iniquity H205 .
|
|
6. You destroy liars; the Lord hates those who kill and trick others.
|
6. Thou shalt destroy H6 them that speak H1696 leasing H3577 : the LORD H3068 will abhor H8581 the bloody H1818 and deceitful H4820 man H376 .
|
|
7. Because of your great love, I can come into your Temple. Because I fear and respect you, I can worship in your holy Temple.
|
7. But as for me H589 , I will come H935 into thy house H1004 in the multitude H7230 of thy mercy H2617 : and in thy fear H3374 will I worship H7812 toward H413 thy holy H6944 temple H1964 .
|
|
8. Lord, since I have many enemies, show me the right thing to do. Show me clearly how you want me to live.
|
8. Lead H5148 me , O LORD H3068 , in thy righteousness H6666 because of H4616 mine enemies H8324 ; make thy way H1870 straight H3474 before my face H6440 .
|
|
9. My enemies' mouths do not tell the truth; in their hearts they want to destroy others. Their throats are like open graves; they use their tongues for telling lies.
|
9. For H3588 there is no H369 faithfulness H3559 in their mouth H6310 ; their inward part H7130 is very wickedness H1942 ; their throat H1627 is an open H6605 sepulcher H6913 ; they flatter H2505 with their tongue H3956 .
|
|
10. God, declare them guilty! Let them fall into their own traps. Send them away because their sins are many; they have turned against you.
|
10. Destroy H816 thou them , O God H430 ; let them fall H5307 by their own counsels H4480 H4156 ; cast them out H5080 in the multitude H7230 of their transgressions H6588 ; for H3588 they have rebelled H4784 against thee.
|
|
11. But let everyone who trusts you be happy; let them sing glad songs forever. Protect those who love you and who are happy because of you.
|
11. But let all H3605 those that put their trust H2620 in thee rejoice H8055 : let them ever H5769 shout for joy H7442 , because thou defendest H5526 them H5921 : let them also that love H157 thy name H8034 be joyful H5970 in thee.
|
|
12. Lord, you bless those who do what is right; you protect them like a soldier's shield. For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Upon the sheminith. A psalm of David.
|
12. For H3588 thou H859 , LORD H3068 , wilt bless H1288 the righteous H6662 ; with favor H7522 wilt thou compass H5849 him as with a shield H6793 .
