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

^11 (A)Teach me Your way, Lord,
And lead me on a ^(B)level path
Because of my enemies.

^3 (A)The voice of one calling out,
“^(B)Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness;
Make ^[a]straight in the desert a highway for our God.

^9 (A)They will come with weeping,
And by pleading I will bring them;
I will lead them by ^(B)streams of waters,
On a straight path on which they will ^(C)not stumble;
For I am a ^(D)father to Israel,
And Ephraim is ^(E)My firstborn.”
