Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible KJV King James Version
For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD ; consider my groaning .
Give ear to my words, O LORD , consider my meditation .
Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God , for to You I pray.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King , and my God : for unto thee will I pray.
In the morning, O LORD , You hear my voice ; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation .
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up .
For You are not a God who delights in wickedness ; no evil can dwell with You .
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness : neither shall evil dwell with thee .
The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit .
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man .
But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.
But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me .
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face .
For not a word they speak can be trusted ; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves ; their tongues practice deceit .
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth ; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre ; they flatter with their tongue .
Declare them guilty , O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions , for they have rebelled against You .
Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions ; for they have rebelled against thee .
But let all who take refuge in You rejoice ; let them ever shout for joy . May You shelter them , that those who love Your name may rejoice in You .
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice : let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee .
For surely You , O LORD, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor .
For thou , LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
