¹¹ Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.

⁸ O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

¹¹ Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.

¹² My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!

⁴ Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

⁵ Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou `art' the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

⁶ They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart `are' deep.

²⁰ And the Lord hath given to you bread of adversity, And water of oppression. And thy directors remove no more, And thine eyes have seen thy directors,

²¹ And thine ear heareth a word behind thee, Saying, `This `is' the way, go ye in it,' When ye turn to the right, And when ye turn to the left.

²⁰ And, having watched `him', they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,

⁴ as it hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, `A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths;

⁵ every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness, and the rough become smooth ways;

⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'

⁴ Then the presidents and satraps have been seeking to find a cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to find, because that he `is' faithful, and any error and corruption have not been found in him.

⁵ Then these men are saying, `We do not find against this Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found `it' against him in the law of his God.'

¹⁰ For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear `is' round about: `Declare, and we declare it,' All mine allies are watching `for' my halting, `Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.'

⁸ And a highway hath been there, and a way, And the `way of holiness' is called to it, Not pass over it doth the unclean, And He Himself `is' by them, Whoso is going in the way -- even fools err not.

¹² Who `is' this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

⁵ Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.

⁵ All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts `are' for evil,

⁶ They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

¹⁰ With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.

⁸ Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.

⁹ Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.

¹⁰ Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou `art' my God -- Thy Spirit `is' good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.

⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

⁷ Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those walking uprightly.

⁸ To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He preserveth.

⁹ Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness -- every good path.

⁹ All of them `are' plain to the intelligent, And upright to those finding knowledge.

¹⁹ The way of the slothful `is' as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.

⁹ He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
