Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
*Meditation* — My prayer accompanied with deep thoughts and fervent affections of soul.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
*Morning* — Every morning. As soon as I wake, I am still with thee, as he saith, [Psalm 139:18](../../../kjv/psalms/139/18). The first thing that I do is to pray to thee.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
*Surely* — Thou dost not approve of, nor delight in them, or in their prayers.
*Dwelt* — Have any fellowship with thee.

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
*Come* — With holy boldness and confidence.
*Mercy* — Trusting only in thy great mercy.
*Fear* — With an holy dread and reverence of thy majesty.
*Towards* — Looking towards it, when I cannot come to it.

Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
*Righteousness* — In thy righteous laws.
*Because* — That I may give them no occasion of slandering me, or religion for my sake.
*The way* — The way wherein thou wouldst have to one walk.
*Plain* — That I may clearly discern it, and readily walk in it.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
*Throat* — Wide opened ready to devour all that come within their reach. A metaphor from wild beasts gaping for the prey.

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
*Destroy* — Condemn and punish them.
*Cast* — Out of thy land, and from among thy people.
