⁸ Yahweh, because you act righteously toward me, show me what is right for me to do. Because I have many enemies, show me clearly what you want me to do.

² Let the voice of my cry come to you, my King and my God; for to you will I make my prayer.

³ My voice will come to you in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I send my prayer to you, and keep watch.

⁴ For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wrongdoing; there is no evil with you.

² Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.

³ Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.

⁷ But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.

⁸ Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.

⁹ For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

² Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.

³ Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.

⁴ For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.

⁵ In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.

⁶ Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.

⁷ Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.

⁸ But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.

⁹ Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.

⁵ The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

⁷ But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

⁸ Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

⁹ Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

⁷ (5:8) But as for me—in the abundance of thy kindness will I enter thy house: I will bow myself down before thy holy temple in the fear of thee.

⁸ (5:9) O Lord, lead me in thy righteousness because of those that regard me enviously; make straight before me thy way.

⁶ thou shalt lose them that speak leasing. The Lord shall hold abomin-able a man-queller, and a guileful man.

⁷ But Lord, in the multitude of thy mercy, I shall enter into thine house; I shall worship toward thine holy temple in thy dread.

⁸ Lord, lead thou forth me in thy rightwiseness for mine enemies; dress thou my way in thy sight.

⁹ For truth is not in their mouth; their heart is vain. Their throat is an open sepulchre, they did guilefully with their tongues;

² My king (or My King), and my God; give thou attention to the voice of my prayer. For, Lord, I shall pray to thee;

³ hear thou early my voice. Early I shall stand nigh to thee, and I shall see; (hear thou my voice in the morning. Early in the morning I shall stand near to thee, and I shall see thee;)

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.
