Psalms 5:5-12

5The 1boastful shall not 2stand before Your eyes; You 3hate all who do iniquity.6You 4destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors 5the man of bloodshed and deceit.7But as for me, 6by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, 7At Your holy temple I will 8bow in 9reverence for You.

8O Lord, 10lead me 11in Your righteousness 12because of 13my foes; Make Your way 14straight before me.9There is 15nothing 16reliable in 17what they say; Their 18inward part is destruction itself. Their 19throat is an open grave; They 20flatter with their tongue.10Hold them guilty, O God; 21By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions 22thrust them out, For they are 23rebellious against You.

11But let all who 24take refuge in You 25be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And 26may You 27shelter them, That those who 28love Your name may exult in You.12For it is You who 29blesses the righteous man, O Lord, You 30surround him with favor as with a shield.
