David asks the Lord to hear his voice—The Lord hates workers of iniquity—He blesses and shields the righteous.

 GIVE ear to my words, O LORD, consider my ^ameditation.

 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my ^aKing^•, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the ^amorning^• will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in ^awickedness^•: neither shall ^bevil dwell with thee.

 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all ^aworkers^• of iniquity.

 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in ^athy^• fear will I worship toward thy holy ^btemple^•.

 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine ^aenemies; make thy way straight before my face.

 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their ^ainward^• part is very wickedness; their ^bthroat^• is an open sepulchre; they ^cflatter with their tongue.

 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have ^arebelled^• against thee.

 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever ^ashout^• for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the ^arighteous^•; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
