Psalm 27

Psalm 27:11
Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a level path
Because of my foes.
If you want to know what is right, you need a source.  You obviously don't know what's right and what isn't, or you wouldn't be asking.  However, your choices will only be as good as the origin of your decision-making.  If you choose the wrong source for your reasoning, the end result will be flawed.

God will lead us in a level path, if we let Him.  That much is obvious.  However, what does that last line mean?  Is it asking God to lead him levelly, because his foes are trying to mess the path up?  Or is it saying that he want to know how to go levelly, by using his foes appropriately?  If he comes across a dip in the path, and can cause his foes to fall into that dip and step over them, the path stays level.  But this sounds odd (though, of course, not outside God's ability), so which is it (if either)?
