Give Ear to My Words
For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David.
Give ear to my words, O LORD; 1Jn 5:14-15Psa 54:2Psa 19:141Pe 3:12Psa 55:1-2Psa 64:1Psa 17:1Psa 86:1
consider my groaning.
Attend to the sound of my cry, Psa 65:2Psa 3:4Isa 33:22Psa 145:1Psa 84:3Psa 24:7-8Psa 74:12Psa 99:1-4
my King and my God,
for to You I pray.
In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; Psa 119:147Psa 88:13Psa 130:6Mrk 1:35Psa 55:17Isa 26:9Psa 69:16Psa 22:2
at daybreak I lay my plea before You
and wait in expectation.
For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; Psa 11:5Heb 12:14Mal 2:17Psa 50:21Rev 21:27Psa 101:7Psa 140:13Psa 92:15
no evil can dwell with You.
The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; Psa 11:5Psa 1:5Hos 9:15Pro 6:16-19Lev 20:23Mat 25:41Pro 1:7Pro 8:5
You hate all workers of iniquity.
You destroy those who tell lies; Psa 55:23Rev 21:8Isa 26:21Rev 22:15Gen 34:25-26Psa 4:22Sa 16:82Sa 20:1
the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
But I will enter Your house Psa 132:7Psa 138:2Heb 4:16Heb 12:28-29Psa 69:13Isa 55:7Dan 6:10Rom 5:20-21
by the abundance of Your loving devotion; 1
in reverence I will bow down
toward Your holy temple.
Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness Psa 27:11Psa 25:4-5Pro 3:5-6Psa 119:10Psa 86:11Psa 143:8-10Pro 4:25Psa 119:64
because of my enemies;
make straight Your way before me.
For not a word they speak can be trusted; Jer 9:3-6Rom 3:13Psa 62:4Mic 6:12Pro 29:5Luk 11:44Psa 51:6Psa 52:2
destruction lies within them.
Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit. 2
Declare them guilty, O God; Isa 63:102Sa 17:14Psa 140:9-101Co 3:192Sa 15:312Sa 17:23Psa 31:18Psa 71:13
let them fall by their own devices.
Drive them out for their many transgressions,
for they have rebelled against You.
But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; Rom 8:28Rev 19:1-7Psa 68:3Psa 40:161Co 2:9Jas 1:12Rev 18:20Jas 2:5
let them ever shout for joy.
May You shelter them,
that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous; Psa 84:11Psa 32:10Psa 115:13Psa 1:1-3Psa 112:1Psa 32:7Psa 29:11Psa 3:3
You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
