¹ Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider myⓐ groaning.

² Give attention to the sound of my cry, myⓑ King and my God, forⓒ to you do I pray.

³ O LORD, inⓓ the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you[1] andⓔ watch.

⁴ For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you.

⁵ Theⓕ boastful shall notⓖ stand before your eyes; youⓗ hate all evildoers.

⁶ You destroy those who speakⓘ lies; the LORD abhorsⓙ the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

⁷ But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I willⓚ bow downⓛ toward yourⓜ holy temple in the fear of you.

⁸ ⓝ Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; ⓞmake your way straight before me.

⁹ For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self isⓟ destruction; ⓠtheir throat isⓡ an open grave; theyⓢ flatter with their tongue.

¹⁰ ⓣ Make them bear their guilt, O God; let themⓤ fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.

¹¹ But let all whoⓥ take refuge in youⓦ rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name mayⓧ exult in you.

¹² For youⓨ bless the righteous, O LORD; youⓩ cover him with favor as withⓐ a shield.
