In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.
I trust in you;
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,
but shame will come on those
who are
treacherous without cause.
Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your
paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God
my Savior,
and my hope is
in you all day long.
Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are
from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my
rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord,
are good.
Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he
instructs sinners in his ways.
He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches
them his way.
All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful
toward those
who keep the demands of his covenant.
For the sake of your name, Lord,
forgive my
iniquity, though it is great.
Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?
He will
instruct them in the ways they should choose.
They will spend their days in prosperity,
and their
descendants will inherit the land.
The Lord confides in those who fear him;
he makes his
covenant known to them.
My eyes are ever on the Lord,
for only he
will release my feet from the snare.
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely
and afflicted.
Relieve the troubles of my heart
and free me
from my anguish.
Look on my affliction and my distress
and take away
all my sins.
See how numerous are my enemies
and how
fiercely they hate me!
Guard my life and rescue me;
do not let me
be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my
hope, Lord, is in you. Psalm 25
