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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
