• Lead Me in Your Righteousness

  • 1 Give ear to my words, O Yahweh, Consider my meditation.
  • 2 Give heed to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.
  • 3 O Yahweh, in the morning, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
  • 4 For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; Evil does not sojourn with You.
  • 5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all workers of iniquity.
  • 6 You destroy those who speak falsehood; Yahweh abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
  • 7 But as for me, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple I will worship in fear of You.
  • 8 O Yahweh, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me.
  • 9 There is nothing reliable in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They flatter with their tongue.
  • 10 Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the abundance of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You.
  • 11 But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You.
  • 12 For it is You who blesses the righteous one, O Yahweh, You surround him with favor as with a large shield.
