(For the one directing. For the flutes. Mizmor Dovid)

Give ear to my words, Hashem,

consider my meditation.Psa 4:2; Psa 17:1

Pay heed unto the voice of my cry, Malki v'Elohai;

for unto Thee will I daven.Psa 84:4

My voice shalt Thou hear in the boker, Hashem;

in the boker will I bring my prayer before Thee as a spiritual sacrifice and wait for an answer.

For Thou art not El that hath pleasure in resha;

neither shall rah dwell with Thee.Deu 32:4; Pro 3:32; Jhn 9:31

The holelim (arrogant) shall not stand in Thy sight;

Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.Gal 5:21

Thou shalt destroy them that speak kazav (falsehood);

Hashem will abhor the ish damim u'mirmah (bloody and deceitful man).Psa 55:24; Isa 1:15

But as for me, I will come

into Thy Bais in the multitude of Thy chesed;

and in Thy fear will I bow down

toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh.

Lead me, Hashem, in Thy tzedakah

because of mine enemies;

make Thy Derech straight before my face.

For there is nothing trustworthy in their mouth;

their inwardness is a corruptible abyss;

their throat is an open kever;

they speak smooth deceit with their leshon.Rom 3:13

Punish them, Elohim;

let them fall by their own intrigues;

in the multitude of their peysha'im cast them out;

for they have rebelled against Thee.

But let all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice;

let them shout for joy l'olam,

and spread Thou protection over them that they be joyful in Thee,

who love Shemecha (Thy Name).

For Thou, Hashem, wilt bless the Tzaddik;

with ratzon (favor) wilt Thou encompass him as with a tzinnah (large rectangular shield).
