Giue eare to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

Hearken vnto the voice of my crie, my King, and my God: for vnto thee will I pray.

My voyce shalt thou heare in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer vnto thee, and will looke vp.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickednesse: neither shall euill dwell with thee.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest al workers of iniquity

Thou shalt destroy them that speake leasing: the LORD will abhorre the bloodie and deceitfull man.

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy feare will I worship toward thy holy temple.

Lead me O LORD, in thy righteousnesse, because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

For there is no faithfulnes in their mouth, their inward part is very wickednesse: their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue.

Destroy thou them, O God, let them fall by their owne counsels: cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they haue rebelled against thee.

But let all those that put their trust in thee, reioyce: let them euer shout for ioy; because thou defendest them: let them also that loue thy name, be ioyfull in thee.

For thou, LORD, wilt blesse the righteous: with fauour wilt thou compasse him as with a shield.
