Psalm 5:9

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

In context

7 But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple.

8 Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

9 For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.

10 Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

11 But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
