Psalm 5:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ But because of your great love
    I can come into your house;
I can worship in your holy Temple
    and bow down to you in reverence.
⁸ Lord, I have so many enemies!
    Lead me to do your will;
    make your way plain for me to follow.

^9 (A)What my enemies say can never be trusted;
    they only want to destroy.
Their words are flattering and smooth,
    but full of deadly deceit.
