Lord, show me your right way of living,
    and make it easy for me to follow.
People are looking for my weaknesses,
    so show me how you want me to live.
My enemies never tell the truth.
    They only want to destroy people.
Their words come from mouths that are like open graves.
    They use their lying tongues to deceive others.[a]
10 Punish them, God!
    Let them be caught in their own traps.
They have turned against you,
    so punish them for their many crimes.
