O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight (direct, right) before me.

For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say;
Their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies].
Their throat is an open grave;
They [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue.(A)
10 
Hold them guilty, O God;
Let them fall by their own designs and councils!
Cast them out because of the abundance of their transgressions,
For they are mutinous and have rebelled against You.

Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;(C)
    with their tongues they tell lies.(D)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,(E)
    for they have rebelled(F) against you.
