Psalms 5:8 in Context — Psalms 5

6 Destruirás á los que hablan mentira: al hombre de sangres y de engaño abominará Jehová.

7 Y yo en la multitud de tu misericordia entraré en tu casa: adoraré hacia el templo de tu santidad en tu temor.

8 Guíame, Jehová, en tu justicia á causa de mis enemigos; endereza delante de mí tu camino.

9 Porque no hay en su boca rectitud: sus entrañas son pravedades; sepulcro abierto su garganta: con su lengua lisonjearán.

10 Desbarátalos, oh Dios; caigan de sus consejos: por la multitud de sus rebeliones échalos, porque se rebelaron contra ti.
