3O LORD, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch. 4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: evil shall not sojourn with thee. The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies: the LORD abhorreth the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. 7But as for me, in the multitude of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
