Translation

you Hate all who are occupied in injustice:/ you will destroy all who speak a lie./ The lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man:/ but I in the multitude of your mercy./ I will enter your house: I will worship at your holy temple in fear of you./ Lord conduct me in your justice on account of my /enemies: direct my way in your sight./ Since there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is empty./ Their throat is an open grave: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them god./ Let them fail through their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out:/ since they have enraged you lord./ And let all be glad who hope in you: they shall rejoice/ forever and you shall live in them./ And all who love your/ name shall glory in you: because you bless the just./ Lord as with a shield of your good will:/ you have crowned us./
