Lead Me in Your Righteousness
To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O Lord;
consider my ugroaning.
2Give attention to the sound of my cry,
my vKing and my God,
for wto you do I pray.
3O Lord, in xthe morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you1 and ywatch.
4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not dwell with you.
5The zboastful shall not astand before your eyes;
you bhate all evildoers.
6You destroy those who speak clies;
the Lord abhors dthe bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house.
I will ebow down ftoward your gholy temple
in the fear of you.
8hLead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
imake your way straight before me.
9For there is no truth in their mouth;
their inmost self is jdestruction;
ktheir throat is lan open grave;
they mflatter with their tongue.
10nMake them bear their guilt, O God;
let them ofall by their own counsels;
because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
11But let all who ptake refuge in you qrejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rexult in you.
12For you sbless the righteous, O Lord;
you tcover him with favor as with ua shield.

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to vThe Sheminith.1 A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, wrebuke me not in your anger,
nor xdiscipline me in your wrath.
2Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
yheal me, O Lord, zfor my bones are troubled.
3My asoul also is greatly troubled.
But you, O Lord—bhow long?
4Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
5For in cdeath there is no remembrance of you;
in Sheol who will give you praise?
6I am dweary with my emoaning;
every night I flood my bed with tears;
I drench my couch with my weeping.
7My feye wastes away because of grief;
it grows weak because of all my foes.
8gDepart from me, all you hworkers of evil,
for the Lord ihas heard the sound of my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my jplea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall kturn back and be put to shame in a moment.
