9
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
9
My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery.
9
For there is nothing reliable in what they say; destruction is within them; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongues.
Psalms 5:9 In-Context
7
But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.
8
Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.
9
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they tell lies.
10
Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
11
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
