Psalms 5:5, 6 (KJ21)
The foolish shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that speak lies; the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

Psalms 5:5, 6 (NAS)
The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity. Thou dost destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

Psalms 5:5, 6 (NIVUS)
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the LORD abhors.

Psalms 5:5, 6 (NLT)
Therefore, the proud will not be allowed to stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil. You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers.

Some people loudly boast of themselves and always look for ways to shine in front of others. If no one else will praise them, they praise and commend themselves. In this they show that they are fools and not worthy of the praise they seek. They are actually acting like madmen.

Their foolishness will not allow them to stand in the presence of the Lord. He does not even want to catch them out of the corner of His eyes, for they are not well pleasing in His sight. These fools are not on the same level with Jehovah, the Lord or those who are upright in heart. The Almighty God hates those who do wickedness and cause trouble, for their iniquity only bring sorrow.

Jehovah the Lord will destroy those that speak lies and deceit. Their threatening and warnings will not avail them, for they will still be put to death and perish. Those who shed blood are an abomination to the Most High. He detests their treachery. They are only tricksters who betray others. Soon their voices will be silenced.
