My voice will rise in the morning; I will order my prayer and look above. You do not delight in wickedness, And evil cannot dwell beside Your love. The proud cannot stand before You. Falsehood cannot hide within Your sight. Yet through the abundance of Your mercy I will bow before Your holy place. Lead me, Lord, in Your righteousness; Make the road before me straight. Let every trusting heart rejoice, For Your favor surrounds them like a shield. Their mouths are empty of faithfulness; Their words conceal a grave within. Let their own counsel fall around them, For rebellion ripens into sin. Lead me, Lord, in Your righteousness; Make the road before me straight. Let all who love Your name rejoice; Your favor guards them like a shield.
