5 The arrogant cannot stand

in your presence.

You hate all who do wrong;

6 you destroy those who tell lies.

The bloodthirsty and deceitful

you, Lord, detest.

7 But I, by your great love,

can come into your house;

in reverence I bow down

toward your holy temple.

8 Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness

because of my enemies—

make your way straight before me.

9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;

their heart is filled with malice.

Their throat is an open grave;

with their tongues they tell lies.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight:

Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing:

The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:

And in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;

Make thy way straight before my face.

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;

Their inward part is very wickedness;

Their throat is an open sepulchre;

They flatter with their tongue.

5 Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence,

for you hate all who do evil.

6 You will destroy those who tell lies.

The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.

7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house;

I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.

8 Lead me in the right path, O Lord,

or my enemies will conquer me.

Make your way plain for me to follow.

9 My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.

Their deepest desire is to destroy others.

Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave.

Their tongues are filled with flattery.

5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;

You hate all workers of iniquity.

6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;

The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;

In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;

Make Your way straight before my face.

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;

Their inward part is destruction;

Their throat is an open tomb;

They flatter with their tongue.

5 Those people who make fun of you cannot stand before you.

You hate all those who do evil.

6 You destroy liars;

the Lord hates those who kill and trick others.

7 Because of your great love,

I can come into your Temple.

Because I fear and respect you,

I can worship in your holy Temple.

8 Lord, since I have many enemies,

show me the right thing to do.

Show me clearly how you want me to live.

9 My enemies’ mouths do not tell the truth;

in their hearts they want to destroy others.

Their throats are like open graves;

they use their tongues for telling lies.

5 The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight:

Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies:

Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house:

In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8 Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;

Make thy way straight before my face.

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;

Their inward part is very wickedness;

Their throat is an open sepulchre;

They flatter with their tongue.

5 Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6 Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.

7 But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear. 8 Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me. 9 For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

5 Those who brag cannot stand in your sight. 

You hate all troublemakers. 

6 You destroy those who tell lies. 

The Lord is disgusted with bloodthirsty and deceitful people. 

7 But I will enter your house because of your great mercy. 

Out of reverence for you, I will bow toward your holy temple. 

8 O Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of those who spy on me. 

Make your way in front of me smooth. 

9 Nothing in their mouths is truthful. 

Destruction comes from their hearts. 

Their throats are open graves. 

They flatter with their tongues. 

5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence;

You hate all evildoers.

6 You destroy those who tell lies;

the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery.

7 But I enter Your house

by the abundance of Your faithful love;

I bow down toward Your holy temple

in reverential awe of You.

8 Lord, lead me in Your righteousness

because of my adversaries;

make Your way straight before me.

9 For there is nothing reliable in what they say;

destruction is within them;

their throat is an open grave;

they flatter with their tongues.

5 The boastful will not stand before your eyes;

you hate all evildoers.

6 You destroy those who speak lies;

the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.

7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,

will enter your house,

I will bow down toward your holy temple

in awe of you.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness

because of my enemies;

make your way straight before me.

9 For there is no truth in their mouths;

their hearts are destruction;

their throats are open graves;

they flatter with their tongues.

5 The boastful do not stand before your eyes.

You hate all evildoers.

6 You destroy speakers of lies.

A man of bloodshed and deceit Yahweh abhors.

7 But as for me, through the abundance of your steadfast love

I will enter your house.

I will bow down toward your holy temple in awe of you.

8 O Yahweh, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies;

make straight before me your way.

9 For there is not anything reliable in his mouth;

their inner part is destruction.

Their throat is an open grave;

with their tongue they speak deceit.

5 Those who are proud can’t stand in front of you.

You hate everyone who does what is evil.

6 You destroy those who tell lies.

Lord, you hate murderers and those who cheat others.

7 Because of your great love

I will come into your house.

With deep respect I will 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 plans to destroy others.

Their throats are like open graves.

With their tongues they tell lies.

5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes;

You hate all who do iniquity.

6 You destroy those who speak falsehood;

The Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

7 But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house,

At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.

8 O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes;

Make Your way straight before me.

9 There is nothing reliable in what they say;

Their inward part is destruction itself.

Their throat is an open grave;

They flatter with their tongue.
