Lord, (A)lead me (B)in Your righteousness (C)because of my enemies;
Make Your way [a]straight before me.
For there is (D)nothing [b]trustworthy in [c]their mouth;
Their (E)inward part is destruction itself.
Their (F)throat is an open grave;
They [d]flatter with their tongue.
10 Make them pay, God;
(G)Have them fall by their own schemes!
(H)Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings,
For they are (I)rebellious against You.
