³ O Lord, in the morning You will hear my voice;
    in the morning I will direct my prayer to You,
    and I will watch expectantly.
⁴ For You are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness,
    nor will evil dwell with You.
⁵ Those who boast will not stand in Your sight;
    You hate all workers of iniquity.
⁶ You will destroy those who speak lies;
    the Lord abhors
    the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
⁷ But as for me, in the abundance of Your mercy
    I will enter Your house;
in fear of You I will worship
    at Your holy temple.

⁸ Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness
    because of my enemies;
    make Your way straight before me.
⁹ For there is no uprightness in their mouth;
    destruction is in their midst;
their throat is an open tomb;
    they flatter with their tongue.
¹⁰ Declare them guilty, O God;
    may they fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
    for they have rebelled against You.
¹¹ But may all those who seek refuge in You rejoice;
    may they ever shout for joy,
because You defend them;
    may those who love Your name be joyful in You.

¹² For You, Lord, will bless the righteous;
    You surround him with favor like a shield.
