Psalms 5:3-9 New English Translation (NET)

3. Lord, in the morning you will hear me;in the morning I will present my case to you and then wait expectantly for an answer.

4. Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil;evil people cannot dwell with you.

5. Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence;you hate all who behave wickedly.

6. You destroy liars;the Lord despises violent and deceitful people.

7. But as for me, because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house;I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you.

8. Lord, lead me in your righteousnessbecause of those who wait to ambush me,remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me!

9. For they do not speak the truth;their stomachs are like the place of destruction,their throats like an open grave,their tongues like a steep slope leading into it.
