Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit. 5:10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you. 5:11 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. 5:12 For surely, O Lord , you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
