1. Give ear unto my words, O Lord, My meditation weigh;
Hear my loud cry, my King, my God, for I to Thee will pray.
Lord, Thou shalt early hear my voice; I early will direct
my prayer to Thee, and looking up, an answer will expect.
?
2. For Thou art not a God who does in wickedness delight;
No evil shall abide with Thee, nor fools stand in Thy sight;
All evil doers Thou dost hate, cut off shall liars be;
The bloody and deceitful man, abhorred is by Thee.
?
3. But I into Thy house will come in Thy abundant grace;
and I will worship in Thy fear toward Thy holy place.
Because of watchful enemies, O lead me by Thy grace,
and in Thy righteousness, Thy way make straight before my face.
?
4. Let all who trust in Thee be glad, in shouts their praise proclaim.
Thou savest them; let all rejoice who love Thy Holy Name.
For Lord, unto the righteous man Thou wilt Thy blessing yield;
With favor Thou wilt compass him about as with a shield.
