New American Standard Bible 1995

Psalms 5:8-12

8O Lord, 1lead me 2in Your righteousness 3because of 4my foes; Make Your way 5straight before me.9There is 6nothing 7reliable in 8what they say; Their 9inward part is destruction itself. Their 10throat is an open grave; They 11flatter with their tongue.10Hold them guilty, O God; 12By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions 13thrust them out, For they are 14rebellious against You.

11But let all who 15take refuge in You 16be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And 17may You 18shelter them, That those who 19love Your name may exult in You.12For it is You who 20blesses the righteous man, O Lord, You 21surround him with favor as with a shield.
