Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of [a]mine enemies;
Make thy way [b]straight before my face.
For there is no [c]faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is [d]very wickedness;
Their throat is an open sepulchre;
They [e]flatter with their tongue.
10 Hold them guilty, O God;
Let them fall [f]by their own counsels;
Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions;
For they have rebelled against thee.
