Psalms 5:6-12

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

8Lord, 7lead me 8in Your righteousness 9because of my enemies; Make Your way 10straight before me.9For there is 11nothing 12trustworthy in 13their mouth; Their 14inward part is destruction itself. Their 15throat is an open grave; They 16flatter with their tongue.10Make them pay, God; 17Have them fall by their own schemes! 18Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings, For they are 19rebellious against You.

11But 20rejoice, all who 21take refuge in You, Sing for joy forever! And 22may You 23shelter them, That those who 24love Your name may rejoice in You.12For You 25bless the righteous person, Lord, You 26surround him with favor as with a shield.
