The Psalter of David

6 The wicked shall not abide in thy sight: thou hatest all that doeth iniquity.

7 Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies; the bloodthirsty and treacherous is abhorred by the Lord.

8 But I, according to the abundance of thy mercy, will enter into thy house, and worship thy holy temple in thy fear.

9 Lord! guide me in Thy righteousness, for the sake of my enemies; level Thy way before me.

10 For there is no truth in their mouths: their heart is destruction, their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongues.

11 Condemn them, O God, that they may fall from their designs; because of the multitude of their wickedness, cast them away, for they have rebelled against you.

12 And all those who trust in you will rejoice, they will rejoice for ever, and you will protect them. and they that love thy name shall glory in thee.

13 For thou dost bless the righteous, O Lord; With goodwill, as with a shield, you crown him.

Psalm 6

1 To the head of the choir. On an eight-string one. Psalm of David.

2 Lord! Do not rebuke me in Thy wrath, nor punish me in Thy wrath.

3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; heal me, O Lord, for my bones are shaken;

4 And my soul is greatly shaken; And thou, O Lord, how long?

5 Turn back, O Lord, deliver my soul, save me for thy mercy's sake,

6 For in death there is no remembrance of Thee: in the grave who shall praise Thee?

7 I am weary with my groanings: every night I wash my bed, with my tears I wet my bed.

8 My eye is dry with sorrow, it is worn out by all my enemies.

9 Get away from me, all you who do iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping,

10 The Lord has heard my supplication; The Lord will accept my prayer.

11 Let all my enemies be put to shame and cruelly smitten; let them return and be ashamed in a moment.
