Of David.

In you, Lord my God, I put my trust.^(a)

I trust in you;^(b) do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame,^(c) but shame will come on those who are treacherous^(d) without cause.

Show me your ways, Lord , teach me your paths.^(e)

Guide me in your truth^(f) and teach me, for you are God my Savior,^(g) and my hope is in you^(h) all day long.

Remember, Lord , your great mercy and love,⁽ⁱ⁾ for they are from of old.

Do not remember the sins of my youth^(j) and my rebellious ways;^(k) according to your love^(l) remember me, for you, Lord , are good.^(m)

Good and upright⁽ⁿ⁾ is the Lord ; therefore he instructs^(o) sinners in his ways.

He guides^(p) the humble in what is right and teaches them^(q) his way.

All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful^(r) toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.^(s)

For the sake of your name,^(t) Lord , forgive^(u) my iniquity,^(v) though it is great.

Who, then, are those who fear the Lord ?^(w) He will instruct them in the ways^(x) they should choose.^[b]

They will spend their days in prosperity,^(y) and their descendants will inherit the land.^(z)

The Lord confides^(aa) in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known^(ab) to them.

My eyes are ever on the Lord ,^(ac) for only he will release my feet from the snare.^(ad)

Turn to me^(ae) and be gracious to me,^(af) for I am lonely^(ag) and afflicted.

Relieve the troubles^(ah) of my heart and free me from my anguish.^(ai)

Look on my affliction^(aj) and my distress^(ak) and take away all my sins.^(al)

See how numerous are my enemies^(am) and how fiercely they hate me!^(an)

Guard my life^(ao) and rescue me;^(ap) do not let me be put to shame,^(aq) for I take refuge^(ar) in you.

May integrity^(as) and uprightness^(at) protect me, because my hope, Lord ,^[c] is in you.^(au)

Deliver Israel,^(av) O God, from all their troubles!
