⁸ Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness^(A)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight^(B) before me.

⁹ They will come with weeping;^(A)
    they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead^(B) them beside streams of water^(C)
    on a level^(D) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,^(E)
    and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
