⁴ Make me to know your ways, O Lord;     teach me your paths. ⁵ Lead me in your truth and teach me,     for you are the God of my salvation;     for you I wait all the day long.

⁶ Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,     for they have been from of old. ⁷ Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;     according to your steadfast love remember me,     for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

⁸ Good and upright is the Lord;     therefore he instructs sinners in the way. ⁹ He leads the humble in what is right,     and teaches the humble his way. ¹⁰ All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,     for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹ For your name's sake, O Lord,     pardon my guilt, for it is great. ¹² Who is the man who fears the Lord?     Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. ¹³ His soul shall abide in well-being,     and his offspring shall inherit the land. ¹⁴ The friendship^[b] of the Lord is for those who fear him,     and he makes known to them his covenant. ¹⁵ My eyes are ever toward the Lord,     for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

¹⁶ Turn to me and be gracious to me,     for I am lonely and afflicted. ¹⁷ The troubles of my heart are enlarged;     bring me out of my distresses. ¹⁸ Consider my affliction and my trouble,     and forgive all my sins.

¹⁹ Consider how many are my foes,     and with what violent hatred they hate me. ²⁰ Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!     Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. ²¹ May integrity and uprightness preserve me,     for I wait for you.

²² Redeem Israel, O God,     out of all his troubles.
