Context of Psalms 5:6
4For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil [person] dwells with You. 5The boastful and the arrogant will not stand in Your sight; You hate all who do evil. You destroy those who tell lies; The Lord detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. 7But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy; At Your holy temple I will bow [obediently] in reverence for You. 8O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight (direct, right) before me.
