A Prayer for Guidance, Pardon and Protection |
|
| 1 |
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
|
| 2 |
O my God, I trust in thee:
| | |
let me not be ashamed, |
|
let not mine enemies triumph over me. |
|
|
| 3 |
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:
| | |
let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. |
|
|
| 4 |
Show me thy ways, O LORD;
|
| 5 |
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:
| | |
for thou art the God of my salvation; |
|
on thee do I wait all the day. |
|
|
| 6 |
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses;
| | |
for they have been ever of old. |
|
|
| 7 |
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
| | |
according to thy mercy remember thou me |
|
for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. |
|
|
| 8 |
Good and upright is the LORD:
| | |
therefore will he teach sinners in the way. |
|
|
| 9 |
The meek will he guide in judgment:
| | |
and the meek will he teach his way. |
|
|
| 10 |
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth
| | |
unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. |
|
|
| 11 |
For thy name's sake, O LORD,
| | |
pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. |
|
|
| 12 |
What man is he that feareth the LORD?
| | |
Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. |
|
|
| 13 |
His soul shall dwell at ease;
| | |
and his seed shall inherit the earth. |
|
|
| 14 |
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him;
| | |
and he will show them his covenant. |
|
|
| 15 |
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;
| | |
for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. |
|
|
| 16 |
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;
| | |
for I am desolate and afflicted. |
|
|
| 17 |
The troubles of my heart are enlarged:
| | |
O bring thou me out of my distresses. |
|
|
| 18 |
Look upon mine affliction and my pain;
|
| 19 |
Consider mine enemies; for they are many;
| | |
and they hate me with cruel hatred. |
|
|
| 20 |
O keep my soul, and deliver me:
| | |
let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. |
|
|
| 21 |
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;
|
| 22 |
Redeem Israel, O God,
|
