Lord, lead me as you promised me you would; otherwise my enemies will conquer me. Tell me clearly what to do, which way to turn. For they cannot speak one truthful word. Their hearts are filled to the brim with wickedness. Their suggestions are full of the stench of sin and death. Their tongues are filled with flatteries to gain their wicked ends. 10 O God, hold them responsible. Catch them in their own traps; let them fall beneath the weight of their own transgressions, for they rebel against you.

Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness(A)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight(B) before me.
Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;(C)
    with their tongues they tell lies.(D)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,(E)
    for they have rebelled(F) against you.
