But because of your great lovingkindness, I will enter Your House. I will bow toward Your holy Temple, in awe of You.
Teach me Your way, Adonai, and lead me on a level path— because of my enemies.

Teach me Your way, Adonai, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart to fear Your Name.
Let your eyes look directly ahead, and fix your gaze straight in front of you.
The earth is full of Your lovingkindness. Adonai—teach me Your decrees.
For he is the one Isaiah the prophet spoke about, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of Adonai, and make His paths straight.’”

However, because by this deed you have made the enemies of Adonai greatly blaspheme, so even the child born to you will surely die.”
I bow down toward Your holy Temple and praise Your Name for Your love and Your faithfulness. For You—magnified above all Your Name and Your word.
And I said, “I have been banished from before your eyes. Yet I will continue to look toward your holy Temple.”
