¹ Listen to my words, Lord;
consider my sighing.^(a)
2 Pay attention to the sound of my cry,^(b)
my King and my God,^(c)
for I pray to You.

³ At daybreak,^(d) Lord, You hear my voice;
at daybreak I plead my case to You^(e) and watch expectantly.

⁴ For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil cannot dwell with You.^(f)
5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence;^(g)
You hate all evildoers.^(h)
6 You destroy those who tell lies;⁽ⁱ⁾
the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery.^(j)

⁷ But I enter Your house
by the abundance of Your faithful love;^(k)
I bow down toward Your holy temple
in reverential awe of You.^(l)
8 Lord, lead me in Your righteousness^(m)
because of my adversaries;^[a]
make Your way straight before me.⁽ⁿ⁾

⁹ For there is nothing reliable in what they say;^[b](o)
destruction is within them;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongues.^(p)
10 Punish them, God;
let them fall by their own schemes.^(q)
Drive them out^(r) because of their many crimes,
for they rebel against You.^(s)

¹¹ But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;^(t)
let them shout for joy forever.
May You shelter them,^(u)
and may those who love Your name boast about You.^(v)
12 For You, Lord, bless the righteous one;
You surround him with favor like a shield.^(w)
