⁸ O Lord, ^(A)lead me ^(B)in Your righteousness ^(C)because of ^[a]my foes;
Make Your way ^[b]straight before me.

^4 (A)Make me know Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
⁵ Lead me in ^(B)Your truth and teach me,
For You are the ^(C)God of my salvation;
For You I ^(D)wait all the day.

^11 (A)Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a ^(B)level path
Because of ^[a]my foes.

^11 (A)Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
^(B)Unite my heart to fear Your name.

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord,
“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ^(A)ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And ^(B)you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
