Psalms 5:8 Context
6Thou shalt destroy them that speake leasing: the Lord will abhorre the bloodie and deceitfull man. 7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy feare will I worship toward thy holy temple. 8Lead me O Lord, in thy righteousnesse, because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 9For there is no faithfulnes in their mouth, their inward part is very wickednesse: their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with their tongue. 10Destroy thou them, O God, let them fall by their owne counsels: cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they haue rebelled against thee.
