You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the (A)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 [a]Your holy temple.
(B)Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.

For there is no [b]faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
(C)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 [c]defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
