Prayer for Protection from the Wicked.
For the choir director; for flute F39 accompaniment. A Psalm of David.
1 Give R79 ear to my words, O LORD,
Consider my groaning. R80 F40
2 Heed the R81 sound of my cry for help, my R82 King and my God,
For to You I pray.
3 In the morning, O LORD, You F41 will hear my voice;
In the morning R83 I will order my prayer F42 to You and eagerly watch. R84
4 For You are not a God who R85 takes pleasure in wickedness;
No R86 evil dwells F43 with You.
5 The boastful R87 shall not stand R88 before Your eyes;
You hate R89 all who do iniquity.
6 You destroy R90 those who speak falsehood;
The LORD abhors the R91 man of bloodshed and deceit.
7 But as for me, by R92 Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house,
At F44 Your holy temple I will bow R93 in reverence R94 for You.
8 O LORD, lead R95 me in R96 Your righteousness because R97 of my F45 foes;
Make Your way straight F46 before me.
9 There is nothing R98 reliable F47 in what F48 they say;
Their inward R99 part is destruction itself.
Their throat R100 is an open grave;
They flatter F49 with their tongue.
10 Hold them guilty, O God;
By R101 their own devices let them fall!
In the multitude of their transgressions thrust R102 them out,
For they are rebellious R103 against You.
11 But let all who take R104 refuge in You be R105 glad,
Let them ever sing for joy;
And may F50 You shelter R106 them,
That those who love R107 Your name may exult in You.
12 For it is You who blesses R108 the righteous man, O LORD,
You surround R109 him with favor as with a shield.
