1Lord, I come to worship you. ⁷¹

2I trust in you, my God. Don't let me be humiliated, and don't let my enemies triumph over me.

3No one who trusts in you will be humiliated, but humiliation comes to those who are deliberately dishonest.

4Show me your ways, Lord; teach me to follow your paths.

5Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. All day long I put my trust in you.

6Remember, Lord, your compassion and trustworthy love—they are eternal!

7Please don't remember the sins of my youth when I rebelled against you. Instead, remember me according to your trustworthy love, remember me because of your goodness, Lord.

8The Lord is good and he is right; that is why he shows the way to those who are lost. ⁷²

9He leads those who are humble in doing what's right, teaching them his way.

10The Lord's paths are those of trustworthy love and truth for those who keep his agreement ⁷³and do as he says.

11Lord, because of your nature, forgive my many sins.

12Who are those who respect the Lord? He will show them the path to choose.

13They will continue to be prosperous, and their descendants will inherit the land.

14The Lord is friends with those who respect him, explaining to them his agreement.

15I always look to the Lord, for he rescues me when I'm trapped. ⁷⁴

16Watch over me and be good to me, because I am all alone and suffering.

17My problems get bigger and bigger. Please save me from all I'm going through.

18See all my troubles and trials. Please forgive my sins.

19Look at how many enemies I have, and how they really hate me! ⁷⁵

20Please look after me and save me! Don't let me be humiliated, for you are the one who protects me.

21May integrity and honesty defend me because I place my confidence in you.

22God, please deliver the people of Israel from all their troubles!
