| 1 | To the Overseer, 'Concerning the Inheritances.'—A Psalm of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation. |
| 2 | Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For unto Thee I pray habitually. |
| 3 | Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out. |
| 4 | For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil inhabiteth Thee not. |
| 5 | The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou hast hated all working iniquity. |
| 6 | Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and deceit Jehovah doth abominate. |
| 7 | And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house, I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear. |
| 8 | O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way, |
| 9 | For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they make smooth. |
| 10 | Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee. |
| 11 | And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee. |
| 12 | For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler with favour dost compass him! |
