Halakhah for Psalms 5:9
יְהוָ֤ה ׀ נְחֵ֬נִי בְצִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ לְמַ֥עַן שׁוֹרְרָ֑י הושר [הַיְשַׁ֖ר] לְפָנַ֣י דַּרְכֶּֽךָ׃
O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; Make Thy way straight before my face.
Kitzur Shulchan Arukh
Upon leaving the synagogue you recite the verse Hashem nacheini (Hashem, lead me).4Psalms 5:9. You should bow towards the Aron Hakodesh like a pupil taking leave from his master. When leaving the synagogue, you should not leave with your back toward the Aron Hakodesh, but you should walk out sideways, and do the same when you descend from the reading lectern.
