Psalm 5:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Because of your great love,
    I can come into your Temple.
Because I fear and respect you,
    I can worship in your holy Temple.
⁸ Lord, since I have many enemies,
    show me the right thing to do.
    Show me clearly how you want me to live.

⁹ With their mouths my enemies do not tell the truth.
    In their hearts they want to destroy people.
Their throats are like open graves.
    They use their tongues for telling lies.
