Prayer for Protection, Guidance and Pardon.

A Psalm of David.

1 To You, O Lord, I alift up my soul.
 2O my God, in You bI trust,
Do not let me cbe ashamed;
Do not let my denemies exult over me.
 3Indeed, enone of those who wait for You will be ashamed;
▼
▼ Or Let those...be ashamed
Those who gdeal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

 4 hMake me know Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
 5Lead me in iYour truth and teach me,
For You are the jGod of my salvation;
For You I kwait all the day.
 6 lRemember, O Lord, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they have been ▼
▼ Or everlasting
 , nfrom of old.
 7Do not remember the osins of my youth or my transgressions;
pAccording to Your lovingkindness remember me,
For Your qgoodness’ sake, O Lord.

 8 rGood and supright is the Lord;
Therefore He tinstructs sinners in the way.
 9He uleads the ▼
▼ Or afflicted
humble in justice,
And He wteaches the ▼
▼ Or afflicted
humble His way.
 10All the paths of the Lord are ylovingkindness and truth
To zthose who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
 11For aaYour name’s sake, O Lord,
abPardon my iniquity, for it is great.

 12Who is the man who acfears the Lord?
He will adinstruct him in the way he should choose.
 13His soul will aeabide in ▼
▼ Lit good
prosperity,
And his ▼
▼ Lit seed
descendants will ahinherit the ▼
▼ Or earth
land.
 14The ▼
▼ Or counsel or intimacy
 , aksecret of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
▼
▼ Or And His covenant, to make them know it
And He will ammake them know His covenant.
 15My aneyes are continually toward the Lord,
For He will ▼
▼ Lit bring out
 , appluck my feet out of the net.

 16 aqTurn to me and be gracious to me,
For I am arlonely and afflicted.
 17 ▼
▼ Some commentators read Relieve the troubles of my heart
The attroubles of my heart are enlarged;
Bring me auout of my distresses.
 18 avLook upon my affliction and my ▼
▼ Lit toil
trouble,
And axforgive all my sins.
 19Look upon my enemies, for they ayare many,
And they azhate me with violent hatred.
 20 baGuard my soul and deliver me;
Do not let me bbbe ashamed, for I take refuge in You.
 21Let bcintegrity and uprightness preserve me,
For bdI wait for You.
 22 beRedeem Israel, O God,
Out of all his troubles.
