CCLI #977558 1

O Je-ho-vah, hear my words,    To my thoughts at-ten-tive be; Hear my cry, my King, my God,    I will make my prayer to Thee.

2

With the morn-ing light, O Lord,    Thou shalt hear my voice and cry,

In the morn my prayer ar-range   And keep con-stant watch will I.

3

Truly Thou art not a God   That in sin doth take delight

E-vil shall not dwell with Thee,    Nor the proud stand in Thy sight.

4

E-vil-do-ers Thou dost hate, Liars Thou wilt bring to naught; God ab-hors the man who loves    Deeds of blood or lying thought.

5

But in Thine abundant graceTo Thy house I will re-pair; Looking to Thy ho-ly place,

In Thy fear I’ll worship there.

6

Since, O Lord, mine enemiesFor my soul do lie in wait,

Lead me in Thy righteousness;Make Thy way before me straight

7

For they flatter with their tongue   In their mouth no truth is found;Like an open grave their throat;

All their thoughts with sin a-bound

8

Hold them guilty, O my God;   Them for all their sins expel;Let them fall by their own craftFor against Thee they rebel.

9

But let all that trust Thy careEv-er glad and joy-ful be;

Let them joy who love Thy name,For they guarded are by Thee

10

And a blessing rich, O LordTo the right-eous Thou wilt yield;Thou wilt com-pass him a-bout

With Thy fa-vor as a shield.
