For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil [a]dwell with You.
The (A)boastful shall not (B)stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the (C)bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward [b]Your holy temple.
(D)Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.
