5:7 But as for me, 1 because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house; 2
I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you. 3
5:8 Lord, lead me in your righteousness 4
because of those who wait to ambush me, 5
remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me! 6
5:9 For 7 they do not speak the truth; 8
their stomachs are like the place of destruction, 9
their throats like an open grave, 10
their tongues like a steep slope leading into it. 11
5:10 Condemn them, 12 O God!
May their own schemes be their downfall! 13
Drive them away 14 because of their many acts of insurrection, 15
for they have rebelled against you.
5:11 But may all who take shelter 16 in you be happy! 17
May they continually 18 shout for joy! 19
Shelter them 20 so that those who are loyal to you 21 may rejoice! 22
5:12 Certainly 23 you reward 24 the godly, 25 Lord.
Like a shield you protect 26 them 27 in your good favor. 28
