In the morning I will present my #5:3 Or sacrificeprayer to You and be on the watch.
4¶For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
No evil can dwell with You.
5The boastful will not stand before Your eyes;
You hate all who do injustice.
6You destroy those who speak lies;
The Lord loathes the person of bloodshed and deceit.
7But as for me, by Your abundant graciousness I will enter Your house,
# 5:7 Or Toward At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.
8¶Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way #5:8 Or smoothstraight before me.
9For there is nothing #5:9 Or truetrustworthy in #5:9 So ancient versions; MT histheir mouth;
Their inward part is destruction itself.
Their throat is an open grave;
They #5:9 Or make their tongue smoothflatter with their tongue.
10Make them pay, God;
Have them fall by their own schemes!
Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings,
For they are rebellious against You.

Sing for joy forever!
And #5:11 Or You sheltermay You shelter them,
That those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
12For You bless the righteous person, Lord,
You surround him with favor as with a shield.
