Началнику на хора. На надуйни свирала. Псалом Давидов.

1-2 (A)Чуй, Господи, думите ми, разумей мислите ми.

(B)Вслушай се в гласа на моите вопли, Царю мой и Боже мой! защото Тебе се моля.

Господи, чуй рано гласа ми, – на ранина ще застана пред Тебе и ще чакам,

(C)защото Ти си Бог, Който не обича беззаконие; злият няма да се настани при Тебе;

(D)нечестивите няма да пребъдват пред Твоите очи: Ти ненавиждаш всички, които вършат беззаконие.

(E)Ти ще погубиш ония, които говорят лъжа; от кръвожаден и коварен Господ се гнуси.

Аз пък, по Твоята велика милост, ще вляза в Твоя дом и ще се поклоня в светия Твой храм със страх пред Тебе.

Господи, упътвай ме в Твоята правда, заради моите врагове: изравняй Твоя път пред мене.

10 (F)Защото в устата им няма истина; сърцето им е пагуба, гърлото им – отворен гроб, с езика си лъстят.

11 Осъди ги, Боже, да не сполучат в своите кроежи; отхвърли ги, поради голямото им нечестие, защото се дигнаха против Тебе.

12 И ще се възрадват всички, които се на Тебе уповават, ще ликуват вечно, и Ти ще ги закриляш; и ще се хвалят с Тебе ония, които обичат Твоето име.

13 Защото Ти, Господи, благославяш праведника и с благоволение, като с щит, го закриляш.

A Prayer for Guidance

To the Chief Musician. With [a]flutes. A Psalm of David.

Give (A)ear to my words, O Lord,
Consider my [b]meditation.
Give heed to the voice of my cry,
My King and my God,
For to You I will pray.
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
(B)In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil [c]dwell with You.
The (C)boastful shall not (D)stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the (E)bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward [d]Your holy temple.
(F)Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.

For there is no [e]faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
(G)Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
10 Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.

11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You [f]defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

Lead Me in Your Righteousness

To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.

Give ear to my words, O Lord;
    consider my (A)groaning.
Give attention to the sound of my cry,
    my (B)King and my God,
    for (C)to you do I pray.
O Lord, in (D)the morning you hear my voice;
    in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you[a] and (E)watch.

For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
    evil may not dwell with you.
The (F)boastful shall not (G)stand before your eyes;
    you (H)hate all evildoers.
You destroy those who speak (I)lies;
    the Lord abhors (J)the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
    will enter your house.
I will (K)bow down (L)toward your (M)holy temple
    in the fear of you.
(N)Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
    because of my enemies;
    (O)make your way straight before me.

For there is no truth in their mouth;
    their inmost self is (P)destruction;
(Q)their throat is (R)an open grave;
    they (S)flatter with their tongue.
10 (T)Make them bear their guilt, O God;
    let them (U)fall by their own counsels;
because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,
    for they have rebelled against you.

11 But let all who (V)take refuge in you (W)rejoice;
    let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name may (X)exult in you.
12 For you (Y)bless the righteous, O Lord;
    you (Z)cover him with favor as with (AA)a shield.
