I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue. 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.
Look at the contrast here between those who worship 'toward' the Holy Temple seeking the LORD's righteousness, and pleading for revealing of His face versus those whose throat is an open tomb; faithless, flatters, rebellious, God-haters, in all respects.
Those who refuse the gifts of mercy and grace do so as a consequence of their own rebellion and counsel. They chose a way of life characterized by their self-selected transgressions.
