[1] LORD, I appeal to you. [2] My God, I trust in you. Do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies gloat over me. [3] No one who waits for you will be disgraced; those who act treacherously without cause will be disgraced. [4] Make your ways known to me, LORD; teach me your paths. [5] Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I wait for you all day long. [6] Remember, LORD, your compassion and your faithful love, for they have existed from antiquity. [7] Do not remember the sins of my youth or my acts of rebellion; in keeping with your faithful love, remember me because of your goodness, LORD. [8] The LORD is good and upright; therefore he shows sinners the way. [9] He leads the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. [10] All the LORD's ways show faithful love and truth to those who keep his covenant and decrees. [11] LORD, for the sake of your name, forgive my iniquity, for it is immense. [12] Who is this person who fears the LORD? He will show him the way he should choose. [13] He will live a good life, and his descendants will inherit the land. [14] The secret counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he reveals his covenant to them. [15] My eyes are always on the LORD, for he will pull my feet out of the net. [16] Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am alone and afflicted. [17] The distresses of my heart increase; bring me out of my sufferings. [18] Consider my affliction and trouble, and forgive all my sins. [19] Consider my enemies; they are numerous, and they hate me violently. [20] Guard me and rescue me; do not let me be disgraced, for I take refuge in you. [21] May integrity and what is right watch over me, for I wait for you. [22] God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses.
