Psalms 5:6-12

6You 1destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors 2the man of bloodshed and deceit.7But as for me, 3by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, 4At Your holy temple I will 5bow in 6reverence for You.

8O Lord, 7lead me 8in Your righteousness 9because of 10my foes; Make Your way 11straight before me.9There is 12nothing 13reliable in 14what they say; Their 15inward part is destruction itself. Their 16throat is an open grave; They 17flatter with their tongue.10Hold them guilty, O God; 18By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions 19thrust them out, For they are 20rebellious against You.

11But let all who 21take refuge in You 22be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And 23may You 24shelter them, That those who 25love Your name may exult in You.12For it is You who 26blesses the righteous man, O Lord, You 27surround him with favor as with a shield.
