Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies.
    Make your path straight before me.
But as for the wicked,[a]
    they do not speak truth at all.
        Inside them there is only wickedness.
Their throat is an open grave,
    on their tongue is deceitful flattery.

10 Declare them guilty, God!
    Let them fall by their own schemes.
Drive them away because of their many transgressions,
    for they have rebelled against you.

  1. Psalm 5:9 The Heb. lacks as for the wicked

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