Psalm 5:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Because of your great love
    I can come into your house.
With deep respect I bow down
    toward your holy temple.
⁸ Lord, I have many enemies.
    Lead me in your right path.
    Make your way smooth and straight for me.

⁹ Not a word from their mouths can be trusted.
    Their hearts are filled with a desire to hurt others.
Their throats are like open graves.
    With their tongues they tell lies.
