Listen to my words

1
Yahweh, listen to me while I pray! Pay attention to me when I am groaning because I am suffering very much.
2
You are my king and my God. When I call to you to request you to help me, listen to me because you are the one to whom I pray.
3
You listen to me when I pray to you each morning, and I wait for you to reply.
4
You are not a god who is pleased with wicked people; you will never welcome those who do what is evil.
5
You do not allow those who are proud to come to you to worship you. You hate all those who do evil things.
6
You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder others and those who deceive others.
7
Yahweh, because you greatly and faithfully love me, I come into your temple. I have an awesome respect for you and I will bow down to worship you at your sacred temple.
8
Yahweh, because you act righteously toward me, show me what is right for me to do. Because I have many enemies, show me clearly how to live in the right way.
9
My enemies never say what is true; in their inner beings they want to destroy others. They speak threats of violence and death. They use their tongues to say good things to please people.
10
O God, declare that they are guilty and punish them. Cause them to experience the same disasters that they plan to cause to happen to others. Get rid of them because they have committed many sins, and they have rebelled against you.
11
But cause that all those who go to you to be protected will rejoice; cause them to sing joyfully to you forever. Protect those who love you; they are truly happy because of what you do for them.
12
Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them as a soldier protects himself with his shield.
