Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness
because of my enemies—
make straight your way before me.

The first part of this is a plea with God, for Him to lead us and be our guide. How often do we cry to him to lead and truly to show us His righteousness and be our guide? We need His righteousness due to our enemies and more bluntly the devil himself who is out to get us. But yet God still will supply what we need and to be our guide, but we must trust Him and follow where He goes.

make straight your way before me.

Another plea for Him to guide us. Life is full of twists and turns, and navigating this place is hard and rough. We must cry out to Him and ask to see His guidance and His true will for us. Where He is and wants us to go, He will show us that path. We must follow Him and learn to wait for His movements.
