Psalms 5:8 in Context — Psalms 5

6 Les insensés ne subsistent pas devant tes yeux; Tu hais tous ceux qui commettent l’iniquité.

7 Tu fais périr les menteurs; L’Éternel abhorre les hommes de sang et de fraude.

8 Mais moi, par ta grande miséricorde, je vais à ta maison, Je me prosterne dans ton saint temple avec crainte.

9 Éternel! Conduis-moi dans ta justice, à cause de mes ennemis, Aplanis ta voie sous mes pas.

10 Car il n’y a point de sincérité dans leur bouche; Leur cœur est rempli de malice, Leur gosier est un sépulcre ouvert, Et ils ont sur la langue des paroles flatteuses.
