Texts -- Psalms 5:7-12 (NET)

Context
5:7 But as for me , because of your great faithfulness I will enter your house ; I will bow down toward your holy temple as I worship you. 5:8 Lord , lead me in your righteousness because of those who wait to ambush me, remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me! 5:9 For they do not speak the truth ; their stomachs are like the place of destruction , their throats like an open grave , their tongues like a steep slope leading into it. 5:10 Condemn them, O God ! May their own schemes be their downfall ! Drive them away because of their many acts of insurrection , for they have rebelled against you. 5:11 But may all who take shelter in you be happy ! May they continually shout for joy ! Shelter them so that those who are loyal to you may rejoice ! 5:12 Certainly you reward the godly , Lord . Like a shield you protect them in your good favor .
