Psalms 5:6-12

⁶You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

⁷But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

⁸Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

⁹Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

¹⁰God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.

¹¹But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

¹²For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
