Lead Me in Your Righteousness
For the choir director. For the flutes. A Psalm of David.
aGive ear to my words, O Yahweh,Consider my bmeditation.2 Give heed to athe sound of my cry for help, bmy King and my God,For to You I pray.3 O Yahweh, in the morning, 1You will hear my voice;In the amorning I will order my 2prayer to You and eagerly bwatch.
4 For You are not a God awho delights in wickedness;bEvil does not sojourn with You.5 The aboastful shall not bstand before Your eyes;You chate all workers of iniquity.6 You adestroy those who speak falsehood;Yahweh abhors bthe man of bloodshed and deceit.7 But as for me, ain the abundance of Your lovingkindness I will enter Your house,1At Your holy temple I will bworship in cfear of You.
8 O Yahweh, alead me bin Your righteousness cbecause of 1my foes;Make Your way 2straight before me.9 There is anothing 1reliable in their mouth;Their binward part is destruction itself.Their cthroat is an open grave;They 2flatter with their tongue.10 Hold them guilty, O God;aBy their own devices let them fall!In the abundance of their transgressions bthrust them out,For they are crebellious against You.
11 But let all who atake refuge in You bbe glad,Let them ever sing for joy;And 1may You cshelter them,That those who dlove Your name may exult in You.12 For it is You who ablesses the righteous one, O Yahweh,You bsurround him with favor as with a large shield.
Prayer for Protection from the Wicked.
To the Chief Musician; on wind instruments. A Psalm of David.
aListen to my words, O LORD,Consider my bgroaning and sighing.2 Heed athe sound of my cry for help, bmy King and my God,For to You I pray.3 In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice;In the amorning I will prepare a prayer and a sacrifice for You and bwatch and wait for You to speak to my heart.
4 For You are not a God awho takes pleasure in wickedness;bNo evil person dwells with You.5 aThe boastful and the arrogant will not bstand in Your sight;You chate all who do evil.6 You adestroy those who tell lies;The LORD detests and rejects bthe bloodthirsty and deceitful man.7 But as for me, I will enter Your house athrough the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy;At Your holy temple I will bbow obediently in creverence for You.
8 aO LORD, lead me bin Your righteousness cbecause of my enemies;Make Your way straight (direct, right) before me.9 For there is anothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say;Their bheart is destruction just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies.Their cthroat is an open grave;They glibly flatter with their silken tongue. Rom 3:1310 Hold them guilty, O God;Let them fall aby their own designs and councils!bCast them out because of the abundance of their transgressions,For they are cmutinous and have rebelled against You.
11 But let all who atake refuge and put their trust in You brejoice,Let them ever sing for joy;Because You ccover and shelter them,Let those who dlove Your name be joyful and exult in You.12 For You, O LORD, abless the righteous man the one who is in right standing with You;You bsurround him with favor as with a shield.
