4 You are not the kind of Godwho is pleased with evil.Sinners can't stay with you.
5 No one who boasts can standin your presence, Lord,and you hate evil people.
6 You destroy every liar,and you despise violenceand deceit.
7 Because of your great mercy,I come to your house, Lord,and I am filled with wonderas I bow down to worshipat your holy temple.
8 You do what is right,and I ask you to guide me.Make your teaching clearbecause of my enemies.
9 Nothing they say is true!They just want to destroy.Their words are deceitfullike a hidden pit,and their tongues are goodonly for telling lies.
10 Punish them, God,and let their own plansbring their downfall.Get rid of them!They keep committing crimesand turning against you.
