[1] O Lord, I give my life to you.
[2] I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
[3] No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
[4] Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.
[5] Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
[6] Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past.
[7] Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord.
[8] The Lord is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray.
[9] He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way.
[10] The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.
[11] For the honor of your name, O Lord, forgive my many, many sins.
[12] Who are those who fear the Lord? He will show them the path they should choose.
[13] They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land.
[14] The Lord is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant.
[15] My eyes are always on the Lord, for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.
[16] Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress.
[17] My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all!
[18] Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins.
[19] See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me!
[20] Protect me! Rescue my life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge.
[21] May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.
[22] O God, ransom Israel from all its troubles.
