Delight
You love evil more than good,
And falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.
I hate and detest falsehood,
But I love Your law.
A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
A righteous man hates lies,
But a wicked man is loathsome, and he acts shamefully.
They make the king glad with their wickedness,
And the princes with their lies.
Bless
Do not drag me away with the wicked
And with those who do evil,
Who speak peace with their neighbors,
While malice and mischief are in their hearts.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But his heart was hostile;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.
Inwardly
For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say;
Their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies].
Their throat is an open grave;
They [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue.
Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.
