Psalm 5:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Because of your great mercy,
    I come to your house, Lord,
and I am filled with wonder
as I bow down to worship
    at your holy temple.
⁸ You do what is right,
    and I ask you to guide me.
Make your teaching clear
    because of my enemies.

^9 (A) Nothing they say is true!
    They just want to destroy.
Their words are deceitful
    like a hidden pit,
and their tongues are good
    only for telling lies.
