Psalms 5:8

Read in context

Psalms 5:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

7 But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.

8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

9 For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

10 Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
