A Prayer for Protection from Liars and their Lies
[3] In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.
[4] For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
with you, evil people are not welcome.
[5] The arrogant cannot stand
in your presence.
You hate all who do wrong;
[6] you destroy those who tell lies.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
you, Lord, detest.
[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.
