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.
