Psalms 5:5-12
5The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.6You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
7But I will enter Your houseby the abundance of Your loving devotion;1in reverence I will bow downtoward Your holy temple.
8Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousnessbecause of my enemies;make straight Your way before me.9For not a word they speak can be trusted;destruction lies within them.Their throats are open graves;their tongues practice deceit.2
10Declare them guilty, O God;let them fall by their own devices.Drive them out for their many transgressions,for they have rebelled against You.
