At daybreak, Lord, You hear my voice;
at daybreak I plead my case to You and watch expectantly.

When I observe Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which You set in place,

The Lord is in His holy temple;
the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
His eyes watch; He examines everyone.

I wash my hands in innocence
and go around Your altar, Lord,

Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
and He will exalt you to inherit the land.
You will watch when the wicked are destroyed.

Watch the blameless and observe the upright,
for the man of peace will have a future.

Let those who seek to take my life
be disgraced and confounded.
Let those who wish me harm
be driven back and humiliated.

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or for your burnt offerings,
which are continually before Me.

Wash away my guilt
and cleanse me from my sin.

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

They stir up strife, they lurk;
they watch my steps
while they wait to take my life.

The righteous one will rejoice
when he sees the retribution;
he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

I will keep watch for You, my strength,
because God is my stronghold.

Let those who seek my life
be disgraced and confounded;
let those who wish me harm
be driven back and humiliated.

Did I purify my heart
and wash my hands in innocence for nothing?

Remember Your congregation,
which You purchased long ago
and redeemed as the tribe for Your own possession.
Remember Mount Zion where You dwell.

He established a testimony in Jacob
and set up a law in Israel,
which He commanded our fathers
to teach to their children

He sent among them swarms of flies,
which fed on them,
and frogs, which devastated them.

He chose instead the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion, which He loved.

There the ships move about,
and Leviathan, which You formed to play there.

They served their idols,
which became a snare to them.

I delight in Your commands,
which I love.

I will lift up my hands to Your commands,
which I love,
and will meditate on Your statutes.

I am awake through each watch of the night
to meditate on Your promise.

Let them be like grass on the rooftops,
which withers before it grows up

Lord, set up a guard for my mouth;
keep watch at the door of my lips.
