Psalm 5:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷
But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy;
At Your holy temple I will bow [obediently] in reverence for You.

⁸
O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight (direct, right) before me.
⁹
For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say;
Their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies].
Their throat is an open grave;
They [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue.^(A)
