Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.

Attend unto me, and answer me: I wander about in my plaint, and I moan aloud,

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:

A fruitful land into a plain of salt, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.
