8 Lord, because of many enemies,please lead me in your righteousness.Make your way clear,right in front of me.
9 Because there’s no truth in my enemies’ mouths,all they have inside them is destruction.Their throats are open graves;their tongues slick with talk.
10 Condemn them, God!Let them fail by their own plans.Throw them out for their many sinsbecause they’ve rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you celebrate.Let them sing out loud forever!Protect themso that all who love your namecan rejoice in you.
12 Because you, Lord, bless the righteous.You cover them with favor like a shield.
