7. But because of your great loveI can come into your house;I can worship in your holy Templeand bow down to you in reverence.
8. Lord, I have so many enemies!Lead me to do your will;make your way plain for me to follow.
9. What my enemies say can never be trusted;they only want to destroy.Their words are flattering and smooth,but full of deadly deceit.
10. Condemn and punish them, O God;may their own plots cause their ruin.Drive them out of your presencebecause of their many sinsand their rebellion against you.
11. But all who find safety in you will rejoice;they can always sing for joy.Protect those who love you;because of you they are truly happy.
12. You bless those who obey you, Lord;your love protects them like a shield.
