To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.
1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 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.
8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
Paļaušanās uz Dievu cīņā pret naidniekiem
1 Korvedim. Stabuļu pavadījumam. Dāvida psalms .
2 Manos vārdos ieklausies, Kungs,
sadzirdi manas nopūtas,
3 pievērsies manām vaimanām,
mans Ķēniņ un Dievs,
jo es tevi lūdzos!
4 Kungs, tu rītausmā dzirdi manu balsi,
es rītausmā sataisos tev un gaidu.
5 Tu esi Dievs, kam netīk ļaunprātība,
ļaunums pie tevis nemājo.
6 Tavā priekšā nestāj lielmutis,
tu nīsti visus, kas dara netaisnību,
7 melkuļus tu pazudini –
bendes un krāpnieki Kungam riebj!
8 Bet es ieiešu tavā namā
tavas pārpilnās žēlastības dēļ,
bijādams tevi,
zemošos tavam svētajam templim.
9 Kungs, vadi mani savā taisnībā,
dari taisnu manā priekšā savu ceļu,
jo man uzglūn naidnieki!
10 Viņu vārdi nav uzticami,
viņi pilni postīšanas,
viņu rīkle ir vaļējs kaps,
ar mēli tie lišķē.
11 Sodi tos, Dievs,
lai tie klūp sava viltus dēļ, jo tiem daudz grēku,
triec viņus prom, jo tie dumpo pret tevi!
12 Lai priecājas visi, kas tveras pie tevis,
lai gavilē mūžam!
Sargā tos, lai gavilē tevī tie,
kuri mīl tavu vārdu!
13 Kungs, ikvienu taisno tu svētī,
kā ar vairogu sedz to ar labvēlību.
