The Book of Psalms

 1 Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my ^ameditation.

 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my ^aKing, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

 3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the ^amorning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

 4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in ^awickedness: neither shall ^bevil dwell with thee.

 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all ^aworkers of iniquity.

 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

 7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy ^afear will I worship toward thy holy ^btemple.

 8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine ^aenemies; make thy way straight before my face.

 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their ^ainward part is very wickedness; their ^bthroat is an open sepulchre; they ^cflatter with their tongue.

 10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have ^arebelled against thee.

 11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever ^ashout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

 12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the ^arighteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
