5:3 Every morning, Lord, I lay my gifts before you and look to you for help. And every morning you hear my prayers.
5:4 God, you don’t want evil people near you. They cannot stay in your presence.
5:5 Fools cannot come near you. You hate those who do evil.
5:6 You destroy those who tell lies. Lord, you hate those who make secret plans to hurt others.
5:7 But by your great mercy, I can enter your house. I can worship in your holy Temple with fear and respect for you.
5:8 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.
5:9 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.
5:10 Punish them, God! Let them be caught in their own traps. They have turned against you, so punish them for their many crimes.
5:11 But let those who trust in you be happy forever. Protect and strengthen those who love your name.
5:12 Lord, when you bless good people, you surround them with your love, like a large shield that protects them.
