When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.

Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

The wicked strut about on every side
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

Hold up my being straight in thy ways, my steps be not moved

We went straight, now they surrounded us: their eyes they will set to incline to the earth;

He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.

God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.

I ground them like wind-swept dust; I emptied them out like dirt in the street.

The mandates of Jehovah are straight, rejoicing the heart: the command of Jehovah pure, enlightening the eyes.

Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

Because of all my enemies I have become a reproach and disgrace,
Especially to my neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me on the street run from me.

For straight the word of Jehovah, and all his work in faithfulness.

My wounds start to stink; they rot because of my foolishness.

And if he came to see -- vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out -- at the street he speaketh.

Mischiefs are in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.

O God! When thou camest forth before thy people, When thou didst stride through the wilderness, Selah.

Wherefore start ye up, ye mountains, ye peaks? The mountain God hath coveted for his habitation, Surely, Yahweh will inhabit it ever!

They set their mouths against heaven,
and their tongues strut across the earth.

He leveled a path for His anger [to give it free run];
He did not spare their souls from death,
But turned over their lives to the plague.

He looks down on the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they start to smolder.

He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.

Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

Out of a strait, called I on Yah, He answered me with enlargement.

Thou hast given straight charge to keep thy commandments:

Because of it I keep straight in all things by your orders; and I am a hater of every false way.

Though I walk straight into trouble, you preserve my life, stretching out your hand to fight the vehemence of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.
