1 I offer my life to you, Lord.
2 My God, I trust you.Please don’t let me be put to shame!Don’t let my enemies rejoice over me!
3 For that matter,don’t let anyone who hopes in yoube put to shame;instead, let those who are treacherous without excuse be put to shame.
4 Make your ways known to me, Lord;teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth—teach it to me—because you are the God who saves me.I put my hope in you all day long.
6 Lord, remember your compassion and faithful love—they are forever!
7 But don’t remember the sins of my youth or my wrongdoing.Remember me only according to your faithful lovefor the sake of your goodness, Lord.
8 The Lord is good and does the right thing;he teaches sinners which way they should go.
9 God guides the weak to justice,teaching them his way.
10 All the Lord’s paths are loving and faithfulfor those who keep his covenant and laws.
11 Please, for the sake of your good name, Lord, forgive my sins, which are many!
12 Where are the ones who honor the Lord?God will teach them which path to take.
13 They will live a good life,and their descendants will possess the land.
14 The Lord counsels those who honor him;he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are always looking to the Lordbecause he will free my feet from the net.
16 Turn to me, God, and have mercy on mebecause I’m alone and suffering.
17 My heart’s troubles keep getting bigger—set me free from my distress!
18 Look at my suffering and trouble—forgive all my sins!
19 Look at how many enemies I haveand how violently they hate me!
20 Please protect my life! Deliver me!Don’t let me be put to shamebecause I take refuge in you.
21 Let integrity and virtue guard mebecause I hope in you.
22 Please, God, save Israel from all its troubles!
