[7] But as for me, I will come into Thy house in the multitude of Thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward Thy holy temple.
[8] Lead me, O LORD, in Thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make Thy way straight before my face.
[9] For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
[10] Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against Thee.
[11] But let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because Thou defendest them: let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee.
[12] For Thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt Thou compass him as with a shield.
5:7-8 But as for me: In the Hebrew text, these words are showing us a great contrast to the wicked people the Psalmist has just described. The declaration of the writer is that he has chosen to come to God as seen in the word house. David was God's man of the hour and he was going to reform how the people worshiped God. He had established a structure of worship that would take place in the temple to be built by Solomon. Holy temple: He is speaking of this in the future tense. Make Thy way straight before my face. David prayed that God would make clear His will for him.
5:9-10: Their throat is an open sepulchre: These words describe the perverse language used by people as they opposed God. In fact, the Apostle Paul used these words to describe the depravity of all mankind (Romans 3:13).
5:12: Rejoice: David further describes the joy of the saved. God has done a great work in the lives of His people and now they rejoice.
