8  ^hLead me, O Lord, in your righteousness

because of my enemies;

ⁱmake your way straight before me.

3  For you are my rock and my fortress;

and for your ^uname’s sake you lead me and guide me;

10  even there your hand shall ^blead me,

and your right hand shall hold me.

24  And see if there be any grievous way in me,

and ^wlead me in ^xthe way everlasting!¹

10  ^xTeach me to do your will,

for you are my God!

^yLet your good Spirit ^zlead me

on ^alevel ground!

11  ⁿHe will tend his flock like a shepherd;

^ohe will gather the lambs in his arms;

^phe will carry them in his bosom,

and gently lead those that are with young.

10  ^fthey shall not hunger or thirst,

neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,

for he who has pity on them ^gwill lead them,

and by springs of water will guide them.
