You destroy every liar,
and you despise violence
    and deceit.

Because of your great mercy,
    I come to your house, Lord,
and I am filled with wonder

    and I ask you to guide me.
Make your teaching clear
    because of my enemies.

    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight(F) before me.
