R. Lead me in your justice, Lord.

At dawn I bring my plea expectantly before you.
For you, O God, delight not in wickedness;
no evil man remains with you;
the arrogant may not stand in your sight.

R. Lead me in your justice, Lord.

You hate all evildoers;
you destroy all who speak falsehood;
The bloodthirsty and the deceitful
the Lord abhors.

R. Lead me in your justice, Lord.

But I, because of your abundant mercy,
will enter your house;
I will worship at your holy temple
in fear of you, O Lord.

R. Lead me in your justice, Lord.
