Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 5 of Psalms. Psalm 5 is a morning prayer from someone who approaches God while facing the opposition of the wicked. The language of the temple and entering the divine presence contrasts with the lies, violence, and deceit of those who reject the Lord. The psalmist does not base his access on personal merit, but on divine mercy, and ends by describing God’s protection over those who seek refuge in him.

Ich aber will in dein Haus gehen auf deine große Güte und anbeten gegen deinen heiligen Tempel in deiner Furcht.
Guíame, Jehová, en tu justicia a causa de mis enemigos; Endereza delante de mí tu camino.
Jehová, guíame en tu justicia a causa de los que me acechan; allana delante de mí tu camino.
Eternel! conduis-moi dans ta justice, à cause de mes ennemis, Aplanis ta voie sous mes pas.
Signore, guidami per la tua giustizia, per cagion de’ miei insidiatori; Addirizza davanti a me la tua via.
SENHOR, guia-me na tua justiça, por causa dos meus inimigos; endireita diante de mim o teu caminho.
耶和華啊,求你因我仇敵的緣故,憑你的公義引領我, 使你的道路在我面前正直。
