Psalm 5:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ But by your great mercy, I can enter your house.
    I can worship in your holy Temple with fear and respect for you.
⁸ Lord, show me your right way of living,
    and make it easy for me to follow.
People are looking for my weaknesses,
    so show me how you want me to live.
⁹ My enemies never tell the truth.
    They only want to destroy people.
Their words come from mouths that are like open graves.
    They use their lying tongues to deceive others.^[a]
