Psalm 5:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Lord, guide me in your justice because of my foes;
make straight your way before me.(A)
IV
10 For there is no sincerity in their mouth;
their heart is corrupt.
Their throat[a] is an open grave;(B)
on their tongue are subtle lies.
11 Declare them guilty, God;
make them fall by their own devices.(C)
Drive them out for their many sins;
for they have rebelled against you.
Psalm 5:9-11
New King James Version
9 For there is no [a]faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
(A)Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
10 Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.
11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You [b]defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
