1 O Lord, I come before you in prayer.
2 My God, I trust in you.Please do not let me be humiliated;do not let my enemies triumphantly rejoice over me!
3 Certainly none who rely on you will be humiliated.Those who deal in treachery will be thwarted and humiliated.
4 Make me understand your ways, O Lord!Teach me your paths!
5 Guide me into your truth and teach me.For you are the God who delivers me;on you I rely all day long.
6 Remember your compassionate and faithful deeds, O Lord,for you have always acted in this manner.
7 Do not hold against me the sins of my youth or my rebellious acts!Because you are faithful to me, extend to me your favor, O Lord!
