8 ^aLead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face. ‡

9 For there is no¹ faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
^aTheir throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue. ‡

11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You¹ defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You. ‡

12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
