But I will come into your house,
    because of your faithful love.
I will bend low in your holy temple,
    and I will worship you.
Lord, help me to follow your right way.
My enemies are waiting to attack me.
    Show the right way clearly to me,
    so that I do not go the wrong way.
My enemies never speak what is true.
    They only want to destroy people.
Their mouth has the smell of an open grave.[a]
Their tongues say nice things,
    but they are all lies!

Footnotes

  1. 5:9 An open grave has dead bodies in it. It has a very bad smell. What these people say with their mouths is very bad. Their words cause people to be upset.

But I, by your great love,
    can come into your house;
in reverence(A) I bow down(B)
    toward your holy temple.(C)

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness(D)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight(E) before me.
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;(F)
    with their tongues they tell lies.(G)
