Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.
O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
