Text -- Psalms 5:8-12 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
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 .
