Psalms 5:10
Destroy thou them, O God - All these apparently imprecatory declarations should be translated in the future tense, to which they belong; and which shows them to be prophetic. Thou Wilt destroy them; thou Wilt cast them out, etc.
8 aLead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.
Make Your way straight before my face.
9 For there is no1 faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
aTheir throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
Their inward part is destruction;
aTheir throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
10 Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.
11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You1 defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
Let them ever shout for joy, because You1 defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
