Psalms 5:9 in Context — Psalms 5

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.

11 Frappe-les comme des coupables, ô Dieu! Que leurs desseins amènent leur chute! Précipite-les au milieu de leurs péchés sans nombre! Car ils se révoltent contre toi.
