Psalms 5:7

5 The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity.

6 You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
