⁸ O Lord, ^(A)lead me ^(B)in Your righteousness ^(C)because of ^[a]my foes;
Make Your way ^[b]straight before me.

⁹ “^(A)With weeping they will come,
And by supplication I will lead them;
I will make them walk by ^(B)streams of waters,
On a straight path in which they will ^(C)not stumble;
For I am a ^(D)father to Israel,
And Ephraim is ^(E)My firstborn.”
