Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
5 For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wrongdoing; there is no evil with you.
6 The sons of pride have no place before you; you are a hater of all workers of evil.
7 You will send destruction on those whose words are false; the cruel man and the man of deceit are hated by the Lord.
8 But as for me, I will come into your house, in the full measure of your mercy; and in your fear I will give worship, turning my eyes to your holy Temple.
9 Be my guide, O Lord, in the ways of your righteousness, because of those who are against me; make your way straight before my face.
10 For no faith may be put in their words; their inner part is nothing but evil; their throat is like an open place for the dead; smooth are the words of their tongues.
11 Send them to destruction, O Lord; let their evil designs be the cause of their fall; let them be forced out by all their sins; because they have gone against your authority.
