Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament
Hear my cry for help, my King and my God
For to You I pray each day and night
For to You I pray, my Mighty Lord

In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice
In the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly
For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness
With You, evil people are not welcome apparently

The arrogant cannot stand in Your presence
You hate all who do wrong
You destroy those who tell lies
The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest sometimes very long

But I, by Your great love
Can come into Your temple
In reverence I bow down
Toward Your Holy house physically and mentally

Lead me, Lord, in Your righteousness
Because of my enemies—
Make Your way straight before me
Please guard me

Not a word from their mouth can be trusted
Their heart is filled with malice
Their throat is an open grave
With their tongues they tell lies

Declare them guilty, O God!
Let their intrigues be their downfall
Banish them for their many sins
For they have rebelled against You and with that deserved their fall

But let all who take refuge in You be glad
Let them ever sing for joy
Spread Your protection over them
That those who love Your name may in You rejoice

Surely, Lord, You bless the righteous
You surround them with Your favor as with a shield
Surely, Lord, You bless the righteous
You guard them with Your high will
